I am 17 weeks pregnant and have not gained any weight. However the last time I was at my doctor (1 week ago) he felt around on the baby and told me the baby was big for my due date. I get an ultra sound next thursday so we will know for sure, however my question is: I am not diabetic but my boyfriend is inslulin dependant diabetic since the age of 7. My stomach looks like I am about 7 months along does him having type 1 diabetes put me at risk for having a large baby? Thanks for your help!!!

I did not start gaining weight until after 20 weeks (I actually lost 5 lbs in the beginning). My baby constantly measured large for dates. It has a lot to do with how the baby is lying in there. During the ultrasound, your doctor will measure the baby and have a much better eastimation of fetal age.
Your father having diabetes does put you at higher risk for developing gestational diabetes. You'll probably be tested for that very soon. Uncontrolled gestational diabetes will cause a baby to get very large. In the meantime be sure to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet.
Hope this helps! =)

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.

i dont think so, just eat proper nutrition is the main key.
try apples, blueberries, total cereal, high rich vitamin foods
