Meegm,

Debbie has given such wonderful advice. I was diagnosed with GD at 27 weeks, just boarderline (this is my first pg.) As debbie said, there are alot of factors why you develop GD. I am at higher risk b/c of family history of type 2 diabetes, my age and being overweight. I am on diet monitoring atm and overall I have been able to keep it fairly under control. I go back to the dietician next week and hopefully they will allow me to keep diet monitoring rather than go on insulin. Eating small regular meals with low GI foods and walking/exercise after meals is the key.
