I'm 28 weeks and I had a GTT on Tuesday- this was totally routine - I am healthy and not overweight but my dad has type 2 diabetes so I had to have a precautionary test. I wasn't worried about it at all as I honestly believed it would come back negative but I've just had a call from the hospital telling me that the test has come back positive for gestational diabetes.
I have another appointment on monday to discuss diet and give me a glucometer etc but I've just been googling and got a bit scared about the effect that this could have on baby.
I understand all about diabetes as my dad has type 2 and my husband has type 1 but never known anyone who has had gestational diabetes so just not sure what to think.
Has anyone here had gestational diabetes? How easy was it to control? Did it affect your baby in any way?
