Thanks guys. For those who did have GD, I'm assuming there were no ongoing issues? I read somewhere that the baby could be at greater risk of childhood obesity.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm not sure what the facts are, billytea. I think that most childhood obesity issues are more a problem of non-foods ( soda , twinkies) and low levels of exercise. Interestingly, a number of people I know that have 2 parents with diabetes - lean towards the thinner side of life.
ION, I had on a show called Renovation Realities. I thought it might be interesting to see what unexpected problems came up. Unfortunately, it is like any other reality show and wants to show people at their worst.

Because books.
I read somewhere that the baby could be at greater risk of childhood obesity.
As far as I know (or was told) this isn't an issue. I have three, and the oldest (17) is a rail (and not that active). The middle guy (12) has some weight issues, but his uncle did at his age, and his frame is completely different from his brother's. The youngest (5) is perfectly on target for weight right now, so.

Our wings are not tired.
Neither of my boys has any weight issue. Bobby has sugar issues, but since both of my maternal grandparents were diabetic that isn't any surprise. My doctors told me that GD wasn't related to regular diabetes. (of course that was a number of years ago) My mom had it with all her kids but never developed diabetes herself, and she is 87.

GD seems to happen more to women who have parents that are diabetic, but I am sure that there are exceptions. There seems to be a strong element of heredity in diabetes.
I've been reading too much about diabetes in the last few days.

Emmett's mom had gestational diabetes and he's never had any weight issues.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
OK I've been out of the dating pool for too long. My mom just referred to my cat as "your girlfriend".

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.

At least she didn't refer to it as her grandkitten.

She has called Kona Pua her granddog. I think I'm more comfortable being thought of as mother to my pets than lover.
