How long after being diagnosed with GD did you see a dietician?

I know when someone gets diagnosed with GD, your ob puts a referral to see a dietician to talk about meal plans, numbers etc. how long from when you got diagnosed did they call you?

It’s been a 8 days for me and still no call, no appointment, no meter, no information.

I called my Ob multiple times to see if the referral was sent but no one returns my call. Is it ok that I’ve gone this far without it being managed?

During my first pregnancy I was diagnosed at 28 weeks. I believe I didn’t see a dietician until I was about 30 weeks and had no monitor to test my sugar levels until after. This time they did my glucose test wrong at 28 weeks so they wanted me to redo but it wasn’t working out with the schedule so it wasn’t until I was 34 I finally met with a dietician to start testing my blood sugars. So for 6 weeks my diabetes went undiagnosed. Only found out after we started testing my levels as we suspected I probably had GD again

I think I saw one the next week or so. But that was so long sho I can hardly remember. As for the meter they sent me home with a prescription for one but that was more than buying an otc one that worked just as well.
