I was just diagnosed with GD yesterday. I was really annoyed because i did my 3 hour almost 2 weeks ago and i was never told my results were abnormal. The doctor didn’t even tell me, i had to ask! I figured no news was good news, but obviously i was wrong.

After some serious sobbing last night, I’m ready to figure out what’s next. They said i have to go to a diabetes education class at one of the nearby hospitals, but the woman in charge of setting that up won’t be in until next Monday. My doctor didn’t tell me what to eat (or what not to eat) or what to do in general. So i feel lost right now. I know I’m supposed to make changes, but i don’t know what. And all information online seems so conflicting.

I work every day so i always have the last appointment, so it seems like the staff always want me out ASAP and don’t spend as much time explaining things with me as they should. And i was surprised by my results, so i was too shocked to ask questions.

So, all this to say - any advice? Go-to meals?
