I just found out I have Gestational diabetes too.  It's all really overwhelming at first but I found that I feel much better now that my blood sugar is under control.  Good luck :)

Eevee_moon...yes i thought the samething and i figured the drink was made for your body to actually tolerate it. Im pretty sure it was the drink that did it cuz after i drunk it, it got me alil sick and i knew it was cuz it was way to sweet

Stina15. The same thing happened to me I was told I had it my numbers were always perfect no medication needed.. I'm guessing the glucose drink was to high for body to digest and I usually wouldn't eat stuff like that.  Just eat healthy drink lots of water and walks after meals.

Once I talked to a dietician and they gave me a number of carbs I could have in a day it helped alot.  It's a little hard at first to adjust your diet, especially if you like a lot of sweets and pastas and rice like I do, but it gets easier.  It's worth it in the end because you know your baby is getting the healthy foods and my doctor told me it'll be easier to lose the baby weight after the baby is born.  Good luck!

This is my second gd baby its pretty easy just make sure you you par your carbs with protein its not that bad. Good luck

I also had it but for some reason i couldn't believe it. My doctor made me check my blood sugar 4 times a day and my level wasnt even considered for diabetes so idk how they figured i had it But you can easily lower it by eating lots of fruits..peanut butter..eggs..and no white bread or potatoes
