Gestational Diabetes...

April 5, 2004
I went for my blood work yesterday and today I got a call from my doctor today and the nurse asked me to come in so I knew right then it was bad news! So I went to see them and sure enough I have Gestational Diabetes. So this is what I will be doing to help it out. I will following a very restricted diet (2000 cals a day) and working out. If I am doing good by the next visit then I will just follow the diet through the rest of the pregnancy, but if my level haven't improved then I will start insulin shots, so start praying that everything works out for us. I am going to follow this diet closing and walk as much as I can because that last thing I want to do is take shots everyday!!!! I go see the dietitian on Tuesday so I am looking forward to some meals that she comes up with.
