Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Thbbbbpt, stoopit diabetes.

Snowman-eating, that is.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Thbbbbpt, stoopit diabetes.
Oh, speaking of which: Wallybee has just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, not a severe case or anything, but it's still a bit of a surprise. I was wondering if anyone here had any knowledge and/or experience in dealing with it, what sort of risks we should watch out for, how to keep everyone healthy etc.

Our wings are not tired.
I had gestational diabetes with both the boys. A big concern is the baby getting too big. It was controlled with diet for me without issue. They checked the levels every week. Cool thing is it ends the moment you deliver so you can celebrate with whatever sugary concoction you want.

Because books.
I had gestational diabetes with my two boys, BT. And was a full-fledged Type II diabetic with the third.
It can be controlled simply with diet and maybe a little exercise in most cases, but the doctors will have to determine that. (I had to use insulin both times because my sugar was so high.)
The diet is fairly simple to understand and use, and even if Wallybee *does* need to use insulin, that's not hard to deal with either (outside of a true needle phobia). If you want to ask more, or she does, my profile email is good, and I'll be happy to help.

Now tagless for your comfort.
bt, I had GD with Owen. The biggest risk is a big baby which makes delivery difficult. That and the baby's developing insulin resistance which can result in a steep drop in blood sugar after delivery, which can be dangerous, too. I controlled it with diet. Very controlled carbs. I still got to indulge in calories but I had to check my sugar three times a day. Talking to a dietician or a nutritionist is a BIG help. They can give you guys a run down on portion control and carb content in a diet plan.

I had a co-worker the had GD. She followed the instructions perfectly . ( weirdo }. The worst part of it for her was the constant eating. and she missed her Starbucks hot chocolate. The interesting thing -- the doctors were looking for way more perfect numbers than they desire from those of us with type II. I don't know if she is worried, but the diet does not have to be as strict if she does develop type II in latter life.
