Canyon Baby

Positive for Gestational Diabetes! :(

Writing by Jennifer on Wednesday, 27 of August , 2008 at 7:55 pm

My test came back positive! So, I had to get a monitor, and not I have to check my blood sugar, and adhere to a low/carb/low sugar diet.  I’m going tomorrow to a class given by Kaiser that will teach me how to monitor my blood, and the diet that I need to follow.  Needless to say, I’m pretty upset about this.  I just wanted everything to go smoothly! But, everyone that I have talked to who has had this, and everything that I have read says that if I stick to this diet and what my Dr. tells me, I will be perfectly fine and so will the baby.  Once the baby is born, I will not have diabetes anymore, and since I’m due in about 3 months, changing my eating habits won’t be that bad.  I’m already craving sweets though!! I’ll post after the class tomorrow…..
