Hi! Becoming a resident here I suppose!

Hi Ladies,

I sort of introduced myself the other day.  I failed my 3 hour glucose on Saturday, and officially have been diagnosed with GD.  I haven't seen a doctor yet, but have my appointment with the dietician next week.

Any advice to offer?  I have consistently high blood sugar so I feel pretty crummy pretty regularly.  Headaches, and just overall yuckiness.  Any helpful tips to bring it down?  I'm still dealing with serious food aversions, so getting on track with the eventual GD diet looks like a big challenge, and I've been fighting breakdowns since I got the news.  Sadly my diet isn't even "bad" really.  I've mostly been avoiding sugar and fruit juice and fruit since I realized they made me feel bad.  The carbs are definitely the killer, but meat is my main aversion! Tongue Tied

Hard to not feel like a bad mom already.  I'm sure that isn't an unusual feeling, but it is a challenge to not beat myself up over it.

Glad there is a board here with women going through similar challenges.

    I am in the same boat as you are. I just got diagnosed and I'm trying to figure out what all this means. I don't have any advice for you yet but hopefully we can all get through this together! I have been crying nonstop since I got the news Sad

    I've been struggling too.  It's been an emotional roller coaster these last few days (even more than usual!).  Today though I woke up with a new attitude and perspective.  Lord knows this won't be the last of my bad days, but at least I feel like I can deal with this today.  Plus, the GD diet can't possibly be bad for my potential post baby body! =)  Silver lining right???
