Tested positive for GD.

I went and saw the diabities lady today and she had the results faxed to her and she said my levels for GD are very high. She has given me a ***** test thing (whatever they're called) and I have to test before and after meals 3 times a day, six time a day total and write in into a book, when I go to the Doctors on Wednesday then I can show him that and go from there. If I can keep the levels down through diet all well and good and if I can't then I'll be visiting the high risk clinic and they will put me on insulin.
I'm not as worried by it all now that I know what is going on, I'm pretty sure I can deal with it as I go.
Well that's were I'm up to with my GD dramas, take care all.

I'm sorry to hear about the GD. It sounds like your well informed on how to handle things. What kind of diet recommendations do they give?

xo.

I have to see the dietition tomrrow and he'll be giving me a meal plan to follow, it will be low fat, low salt, low sugar and very controlled by the sounds of it, it pretty much cancels out any food that I might get a craving for :doh: I guess when it comes down to it, it's only 10 weeks and I'll just have to deal with it. At least they caught it now, when I actually have time to make my levels a bit better for both myself and the baby. Maybe this baby will be a more normal size them my others (10p13, 10p4 and 10p14) With my first they found out that I had it at 35 weeks, too late to really do anything and with the next two they didn't pick up on it, so maybe I developed it after the test for it.
I'm hoping to at least get this baby weighing between the 9 - 10 pound range!
