The Dreaded Gestational diabetes!

Yes I was offically diagnoased with Gestational Deabetes. My sugar levels were all above 160 for my 3 hour glucose test. So I had to go and meet with a dieatritionist yesterday. I am put on a special diet for now to see if we can control the levels. It really sucks for me though because the foods that I can eat are all foods that I do not really like for snacking. I feel like I am starving. I know it will take some getting usto but she says i have to eat something because they dont want me to loose weight. Well come on when I am lactose and can not have milk or milk products nor cheese its kinda hard on me. The foods I want to eat like my crackers and fruit and puddings I can not eat because its the starch and fruits that make my sugar sky rocket. I have to test my sugar levels 4 times a day. Once in the morning when i wake up which is a fasting check (this morning was 94 and needs to be under 102) once in the morning after breakfeast (this morning was 122 and needsd to be under 125) once in the afternoon 2 hours after lunch and once 2 hours after dinner. Please pray that I can handle this with diet otherwise I will have to give myself inslin injections until I can keep it under control....As of right now baby is doing well and growing well and so am I. Growing well yes I am....babys sticking right out front....LOL Jan 14 I have another apt with my Doctor to see if i need the insulin or not so we shall see....Thanks for caring and checking my blog!
