Gestational diabetes anyone?

[YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut]

I'm 28 weeks pregnant and yesterday I had a GTT because of higher BMI and family history of diabetes. My midwife called this morning to say that unfortunately my fasting blood sugar level was just over the limit (my 2 hour level was fine). I've been given an appointment to see a diabetes nurse on Tuesday, and a consultant a week on Tuesday.

I'm absolutely gutted - I've been worried about this since before I even got pregnant and now it has happened. I feel so sad and guilty.

I've been looking at Gestational Diabetes UK and they have tons of diet advice: I feel that I should be able to cope with the diet. I'm mainly upset about what this will probably mean for the birth, and the risks to the baby.

Anyone else going through this?

Congratulations MrsGlam! So glad it went well.

Please with my readings so far - all under my target. I know it might not stay that way as the weeks go by but at least things seem to be in control right now.

Congratulations MrsGlam
I'm on the home straight now too will find out on Monday if they are going to bring forward my section date from 1st wk in May.
