Yes, I have gestational diabetes with this pregnancy and with my last pregnancy. I was able to control it with diet, and didn't need insulin with my previous pregnancy, and hopefully I will be able to do the same with this one. I have not started monitoring my blood yet, since I was just diagnosed...i go to diabetes education tomorrow and will get my blood glucose monitor then. I had to check my blood 7 times a day with my last pregnancy (my endocrynologist was pretty strict), but with this one, I should only have to check it 4 times a day...much nicer. I have already been doing the diet, since I found out I was pregnant months ago...just to be on the safe side. I would never drank something soooo sugary as the glucola they make you take for the test...so had I just continued with my diet, and never had the test, I think i would have been fine just eating right ( since I know how to eat for this diet already), but it does show that lots of sugar intake (like the glucola), my body just doesn't process right...being that it is gestational, it should go away after delivery and has more to do with my placenta and pregnancy hormones taking over...but i did have 2 great aunts who had diabetes, and my my 2 deceased grandparents had late-onset. I am glad in a way, to have it, so I know how to eat properly for the rest of my life to try to prevent getting Type 2. I am not overweight, so my endo. said that I could quite possible stop myself from developing Type 2, if I watch what I eat after pregnancy.
