I finally had my OB appt yesterday - first since diagnosed. My GDM is managed by an endocrinologist. The OB put a lot of my fears to rest specifically about the health of the baby. I have another regular appt in 2 weeks and then I start having appts twice per week - a NST and u/S to measure growth and fluid levels and another NST weekly!

Oh wow so you have to go twice per week starting around 32 weeks (ish)? I was told extra monitoring wouldn't even start until 34 weeks ! I find it so interesting how different offices monitor GD!

Yes! I have a friend in a nearby town who had GDM and her OB did it differently also. I guess my practice is a bit conservative...or aggressive, depending on how you look at it!

About how many hours are you all fasting for before your morning check? And what time is your last meal/snack? Need help with my fasting

My fasting numbers aren't very good. Last night I was at 9 hours and usually I'm in the 120s.

My fasting number is about 10 hours after my last snack in the evening. I usually don't eat after 9 pm.
