Update on my GTT
I have officially been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. I found out yesterday and it took a bit to sink in but I'm officially ready to share with you girls. I have 1 cousin that had GD and that was about 3 years ago so she was sharing with me some of the things she has remembered. I have of course googled everything you can imagine. Edgar has been wonderful and very supportive. I have an appointment with a specialist on Tuesday at 3:30 so hopefully I will know more. It's just put everything into perspective a little more, like I could possibly be put on bed rest, if I don't control my sugar count I could be placed in the hospital so they could monitor and maintain, I could be induced before my due date, etc. I know it's not the WORST thing to have ever happened to me but I really took my "easy" pregnancy for the 1st 7 months for granted.

Re: Update on my GTT
I'm sorry to hear that you have GD.
I think Alyssa may have had GD, so she might be a good person to talk to. Good luck!

I had GD with my pregnancy from very early on. It's really not that bad. You will have to monitor your sugar and control your diet (sugar intake) but hopefully that will be all you will have to do. If it remains uncontrolled with diet, you may have to have insulin shots. They tell you about the hospitalization mostly to scare you into making sure you diet. I did not have to be hospitalized at all, although my baby did come almost seven weeks early.
I hope it all goes smoothly for you! If you need to talk about it, I'm here. I know how hard it is to prick your fingers five times a day and how frustrating it is not to be able to eat anything you want at the one time in your life when you are supposed to!
