I don't know if I can deal with having to pick my fingers 4 times a day!

I guess that is less painful than having to push a ginormous baby out.

what are your success stories and serving gestational diabetes?

Thanks everyone.  I am seeing the diabetic person on Monday to go through the game plan. I am only 25 weeks and 2 days so I hope all goes well.

I did it for a week. But then my dietician was pleased with how well I was doing that I am now doing it 3 days a week, 2 times a day. So it  can get better. You just have to watch what you eat and drink and stick to a schedule. Not easy, as we crave strange things, at all hours of the day, but you can do it!

The pricking isn't all that bad. It just gets tedious! I've been doing it since about 30 weeks and you get used to it pretty easy. Just remember you want to limit your carbs! Don't just look at the sugar content because carbs will raise your levels too. They had me diet controlled for awhile with 30g of carbs allowed at breakfast 60g for lunch and 60g for dinner and a snack after each blood check that was no more than 30g. They should send you to a dietician who will give you a sample meal plan to give you ideas about what you can have for each meal.
