Gestational Diabetes
I was extremely lucky when I had Missy Moo – I didn’t have gestational diabetes – but Mr Moo said – it could be because I couldn’t eat at all without feeling that I needed to puke. Maybe that was the reason but I was sure happy because Missy Moo was not at risked.
A friend of mine is having a baby soon and a few months ago, she found out that she had gestational diabetes – poor girl! just when she started to feel better and could eat. The hospitals and doctors take gestational diabetes very seriously and if you cannot bring your blood sugar level down – they would strongly suggest that you take insulin and that is no fun at all – that’s for sure. My girlfriend started doing more exercises and also cutting back on carb to have to lower her blood sugar and I think she is doing well with it after the initial shock but what about those who don’t have as much determination as my friend?
So what else can one do to help with the gestational diabetes if you have one while you are carrying a baby? try to move around a lot – lots of walking is really good i heard for those with gestational diabetes – cut off all juices and sugary drinks and definitely cut down on pasta and rice – I know easier said than done and if all else fail – listen to the doctor and take some insulin and you only start off with very low dosage.
