in 3rd Trimester

i had my test yesterday and had 'abnormal' test results so i gotta go in for the 3 hour test. totally sucks, im entirely freaked out

i already looked up the complications that could happen but what are some of the treatments?

is it just diet changes or are there insulin shots and such as well?

    Depends on your situation.  I am able to control my daily sugar numbers through diet and exercise, but my fasting numbers were always high, so they put me on insulin at night.

    I never noticed that board!  But there are quite a few GD ladies on the high-risk board.

    I think that most of us were freaked out or upset when we were diagnosed.  I know that I was pretty upset. 

    I've found the diet quite easy to follow.  I can eat almost everything I was before and I'm never hungry.  It just comes down to measuring portions a little more and ensuring you have the right amount of carbs and protein at each meal and snack.  I got started out by entering everything I was eating into the website Sparkpeople.  It helped me keep track of what I was eating and how much of each food equaled portions etc.

    Unfortunately my fasting numbers weren't great, despite all of my post-meal numbers being in range, so I'm on NPH insulin twice a day.  The insulin injections don't hurt at all.

    I test my blood 7x a day as well.  

    Most of the GD ladies are on the High-Risk board so you can always come there for more info. 

    GL!

    It really depends on your situation. For me, I am on a strict diet and my numbers are still high so I was put on a pill yesterday to try to control it better. If that doesn't work, then I will have to take the insulin shots. Try not to get too upset about it. Most women are able to control it with diet changes and exercise. And I agree, there needs to be a GD board. Good luck!
