GDM/Gestational Diabetes

Hello mummies. Am currently at 29 week 3 days. I went to KKH ODAC as my Blood test after glucose tolerance test was borderline and they took it as i have GDM. I have to prick myself 2 days every week 7 times. According to the glucometer result guide, my sugar level have been in the safest side. Mind you i was eating clean strictly. And then received a call saying that when they see the results its not favourable. So i have to the diabetic tablets. What does this mean? This is stressing me out like wth they want me to do? I eat clean, eat fruits that are recommended and strictly on Mineral Water. I’m so annoyed like what else am I supposed to do? Give me a break. #advicepls #pleasehelp #firstbaby

I was having same problem during my pregnancy last year. I attended to dietitian and follow instructions to control my diet so strictly. yet my glucose self test results after meals still always exceed 6.6...i follow doctor's instructions to take medicines, but the result still not good despite dosages kept increasing. I understand ur stress. I was really fed up too. What I can suggest is follow the doctor's instructions to take medicines while monitoring the diet to identify ur "safe food". My body react funny to some food that dietitian suggest. So no choice I hv to avoid those food. Cut down on carbohydrates (I can only hv 6 spoons every meals). Eat more meat and vege to make urself stay nutritional. Not many fruits are allowed for me... Guava and apple(not sweet one) are my best friends during that period of time. It's not easy. But it will over. Doctor suggest to deliver baby around week 38, so u are counting down to it... So long the baby is healthy. All the suffering worth the effort.
