Gestational Diabetes

Well I just received a call from my doctor that I failed the 3 hour glucose tolerance test. Which means I do have Gestational Diabetes. They are referring me to a Prenatal specialist to start the diabetic care plans. I start out trying to do a diet controlled plan and if my sugar is still high I will have to be put on medication (which is what happened with my pregnancy with Ethan), and if it STILL is high on medication then I have to do insulin shots. So needless to say I am not excited, but it was to be expected. I had a crazy 90% chance that I would have it again in this pregnancy, so the odds were against me. The part that is hard is there is NOTHING I can do. My body doesn't produce enough insulin to support me and the baby. I just pray that after I have this precious boy that I will be able to maintain a healthy weight and watch what I eat so that I do not have Diabetes. While this will be no fun, I am glad there is something that can be done and other than it causing a large baby, we both should be fine if the medication helps. Off to go chew on a celery stick... I guess I shouldn't drink the Sunkist I was planning on drinking. Hee hee!
