? for those with GD

ShannonLK

Before or after you were diagnosed did you notice you were extremely thristy most of the time?

This is something I've been noticing for a while now but kind of ignored it.  Now as I wait for the results from my 3 hr test, I wonder if there is more to it than just being thirsty.

I've been extra thirsty since the beginning.

I have never had this problem. I drank and still do drink so much water in a day that I never am thirsty really.

I truly had no signs of GD before I was diagnosed & really none after (expect, of course, for the high BS numbers)

My whole pregnancy I have been insanely thirsty and get horrible headaches if I am not drinking constantly!

Same for me - always drank a ton of water before hand.

I have also been incredibly thirsty throughout the entire pregnancy.

I noticed about 20 weeks I got REALLY thirsty.  Nothing made it go away.  I tried everything.  Once I regulated my blood sugar the thirst craving subsided.  It didn't totally diet out- but it got MUCH better.

Nothing does take away the edge of being thirsty- but I have switched to Crystal light instead of water and it helps a little.

I hate feeling thirsty and I am SO tired of water.
