gestational diabetes ???

i am 30 weeks pregnant. i have had a rough pregnancy so far. rough meaning low progestrone level in the beginning, high blood pressure going into the pregnancy, being put on bed rest since january, and now high sugar levels. i did my one hour glucose tolerance test and my sugar levels came back high. i went in the other day for the three hour gloucse test and got my results back today. sugar levels still high. im being sent to a dietician. my doctor doesnt think ill need to be put on insulin since i dont have too much longer to go. my doctor thinks that with a change in diet will work. does this mean that i have gestational diabetes? Does this also mean that my baby will have diabetes?

Gestational diabetes is common. Good that you don’t have to take insulin — who wants to take a shot every day? But if you follow your doctor’s advice and do some online research to learn more about foods and how they effect your body, you should be fine.

Gestational diabetes doesn’t mean your children will be diabetic I mean they might be, but they may also have blue eyes or dark hair.

Don’t worry, you’ll be fine. Two things to consider to stay on track is to monitor your sugar and blood pressure. If you know where you stand, you have a better chance of taking corrective action early on.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Health and happiness to you and your family.
