So, feel free to skip this post as it's a complete whine.. but, GD sucks.  I've been diet controlled since 20wks.  My numbers are mostly all good, except my fasting.. fasting are consistently high (like 100-110 range).  

MFM called today and wants me to go for a hemoglobin A1C blood test.  Cue guilt-ridden freakout.  I'm terrified if that comes back poorly they'll make me start glyburide or, worse, insulin

Of course, now I'm beating myself up, too.. thinking about all the times I've "cheated" here and there.. thinking that if my A1C comes back high, it's my own fault for not being strict enough, etc.. and, then that makes me feel like a terrible Mom.  I keep trying to tell myself, most of my "cheats" were to eat fruit!! I tend to eat fruit as my "snacks", because I know they spike my sugar too high to eat with a meal (and come down in time), but if I eat them in between a meal, by the time I test again my numbers are within range..

Boo.

Hugs. GD sucks.

Do not beat yourself up for having GD.  Huge hugs to you!

There is nothing you could have done differently to not have it.  Your cheats did not tip you over.

It truly sucks that fruit is considered a "cheat".  (I love fruit and can't imagine not being able to eat it.)  You're not doing anything wrong and you're doing the absolute best you can for your babe.  ((HUGS))  - I'm sorry that you're going through this.
