Joining the GD club

On top of already being high risk, now I get to add GD to my list!

My DH actually took the call from my dr. And my dr. Told DH that he was sorry he had to give me more bad news, haha.

Oh goodness, what a ride.

So, does this mean I will for sure need to test my blood sugar? Or could they just be monitoring my diet?

Yes, you will have to monitor your blood sugar.  Likely 4 times daily.  Honestly, the finger pricks really don't hurt (I am able to get a sample from the shallowest setting).  Hopefully you will be able to control it with diet, but the only way to know how your body is responding is by testing your glucose levels.

Yep. Sorry, for me the price of the strips is worse than the poking. Fingers crossed for diet being enough!

Thanks ladies. I don't have a problem with testing. My DH was the one that talked to the dr and he said the dr made it sound like all they would do was monitor my diet. That didn't sound right to me. I figured finger pricks were part of the package.

I'm joining the club too, as of last Thursday.  I meet with a dietician in the new year, and I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of testing and food journaling with you.  Glad there is so much support here on the Bump!  I've found the ladies very helpful!
