Hi mummy!! Dont worry! Im a GDM mummy as well! My GDM was 5.3 - 11.5 - 10.. i was super worry! Basically at TMC, gynae will asked us mummies to meet a dietician. So i did went and they will explained to you what to avoid and to maintained. Tbh i dont really maintained that well but i do cut down sugar the most. And my sugar level maintained at 6-7. I didnt used the insulin injection, but i did the 7 pricks a day. Dont be scared seriously.. i was like you.. but sadly i have to end up for csection as my GDM is high, my body weight spiked up, baby is growing so well.. and here i am, baby do not have any signs of diabetic, my sugar level went down, my blood pressure goes back to normal. So mummy, whatever you go thru, DO NOT FEEL SCARED AND BURDEN URSELF! Always be positive ya! β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Iβm with KKH too, GD at 28 weeks and now Iβm 37 weeks. Just need to take note of diet. Cut down on carbs, totally cut away sugar drinks. Take smaller but more frequent meals. Itβs not that bad, I learnt along the way to eat healthier too. For my case, they had a 2 half day online session to teach us about watching our diet, exercising etc. prick 7 times, 2 consecutive days a week. The doc may increase/ decrease the pricks frequency based on how well your readings are. Donβt worry, GD is really common and most will recover after baby is out. All the best!
I'm waiting to hear back about my GD test results - they flagged the 2 hour https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/nursing-essay-writing-service-3-best-websites-writers-grace-carter mark. I'm worried it might mean gestational diabetes. I'm wondering if the doctor will recommend finger pricks or insulin injections. Feeling anxious about the call from KK this week, but trying to stay positive.
Mine was 4.8 - 10.3 - 9.5 GD is quite common for pregnancy. 1 out of 4 ladies will have it and it will be gone after we give birth. Totally no sweet drinks, cut down on carbs, more protein & veggy and we will be able to control it well.
If I remember correctly KKH recommended for two consecutive days of finger prick tests only. For my experience then, i requested for more regularly tracking so I did this daily and took Metformin but don't have to do insulin jabs.
