I have it I'm 36 weeks I have to have insulin before each meal and before bed I also have to check my blood sugar 4 times a day. It really isn't all that bad as long as you keep it controlled and my baby is perfectly healthy.

I have GD and I'm 32weeks. I take the fast acting insulin so that I can eat whatever I want and still have the needed insulin for baby and I. The only reason that was done was due to I've only gained 6lbs total in my pregnancy. I still do blood sugar levels 4x daily.

I have gestational diabetes I am 38 weeks. I didn't have it so bad to where they needed to put me on medication. All my Dr does is monitors his growing rate and check over my sugars every time I come in. They told me that if he was measuring 3 weeks or more ahead then they would order an ultrasound. Otherwise since I only failed the last blood draw by two points they weren't too concerned.
