anyone with gestational diabetes and insulin controlled?

[charmed24]

hello getting my self worked up and really worried found out i had gestational diabetes at 18 weeks am now 34+2 and was diet controled think maybe now i need insulin as im now getting high blood levels. what is it like are they still needles that you use or are they like the thing you draw blood from your finger with if you know what i mean been told it does not work but s* scard of needles at the best of times let alone having to do it myself!

I have needed insulin with both pregnancies. I never thought I could inject myself, but really it is a piece of cake - inconvenient, but not painful. The worst thing is the smell of the insulin.

I hope the diabetes nurses are monitoring you carefully??

I needed insulin with my second pregnancy - don't worry as dueat44 said it is inconvenient more than anything else. The diabetes nurse I had was very helpful and did offer to come to my house to help me with the first injections - I didn't take up her offer though as that to me would have added extra inconvenience .

thanks i will ring them later today see what they say
