Anyone here diagnosed early?

Question

I got diagnosed at 11 weeks due to a long family history and now I’m 16 weeks and I’m already so frustrated with eating the same things over and over again, not getting to just go out to dinner with my husband, or give in to cravings!! Anyone in the same boat? Or got diagnosed early but almost done and can give me some words of encouragement on how to do this for 5 more months!

Answer

I feel your pain 😔. I was diagnosed at 14 weeks too. I have 3 boys and I didn't have GD with them. I was tested early because of my BMI and family hx. I complain to my husband about eating the same things too. I've learned that you can have a diverse diet, you have to be careful with your carb choices. You can eat out too, just choose healthier options. I even eat fast foods, I just make sure they don't exceed my carbs limit for that meal. I hope this helps and encourages you. Best Wishes to you!

Answer

I have tested my sugar 4x per day since 12w and have been in insulin 3x per day since 14w. I'm currently 26w and wish I could have a "normal" pregnancy. This is my second GD pregnancy and all of the testing, insulin, and appointment are well worth the struggle when you hear your baby cry for the 1st time as they place him/her on your chest.

Answer

I was treated for GD from the beginning. we have type 1 and type 2 in the family and I was already pre diabetic. I took glyburid at night for my fasting numbers. they were a little high. like 105 to 110. when the pills stopped working at like 15-16 weeks in was put on insulin for my fasting numbers. currently 23 weeks and still only taking insulin for my fasting numbers. I just watch what I eat during the day and control my numbers.
