Answer 1

My aunt had gestational diabetes with both of her 2 kids. She went on the south beach diet to control her sugar and it worked for a little while but then it was out of control again, they also put her on insulin shots. She went on to have 2 beautiful healthy girls both weighing well over nine pounds of course she had to have c-sections with both but it was for the best for her and baby. I know giving yourself shots really sucks ask about getting the pre-filled pens to do it with. Good Luck and Congrats on the pregnancy

The only thing that I can tell you about it is that there isn't much you can do besides insulin injections to keep your levels normal. Also, you can expect to get bigger than normal.. meaning you'll gain more weight in the last 10 weeks than the normal pound or 2 a week. ALSO, babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes are often heavier and longer than those without the condition. Take the insulin shots. You don't want to risk your health or the health of your baby. Good luck and congratulations.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 6

I know someone who has gestational diabetes and she was having a very hard time before the baby was born. She was also very worried that they baby will not be healthy. But now the baby is born and is 4 years old and she is very healthy. She is very strong and energetic. She has a 5 and 7 year old sister who are not as healthy as she is now and the mother didn't have gestational diabetes when she was pregnant with them. So don't worry. Be happy.

Answer 7

I don't have gestational diabeties yet knock on wood but I have a blood clotting disorder and I am 19 weeks on heparin shots 2 times a day it's not as bad as you think and I think your baby will be fine I have to take my medications so my baby will have a chance of survival and that's the way I look at it the doctor will insure you of any doubts you have.

During my second pregnancy, i had a glucose intolerance which i was able to control with diet and exercise. Even when you start your insulin injections, keep up with your low carb / low sugar diet, drink plenty of water and go for walks, too. It all helps your body metabolize the sugar and carbs. It will help ensure the health of you and your baby.

Answer 10

my aunt had gestational diabetes when she was pregnant and she was on shots. i am a diabetic and nothing will ever happen to your baby if you take insulin shots if something was going to hurt your baby i don't think they would make you do shots
