I would like to hear similar stories with people who had it. Like what were the effects......the treatments? Will my baby be ok? Did you have your baby early? Did you take insulin shots?
please inform me. I'm nervous about it.

I know how ya feel. I'm at 31 weeks and have been testing my blood sugar 4X daily. So far it sounds like I'll be able to manage it completely through diet -- no pills, no shots. It's hard to find specific info about what YOU need to do until you see your doctor and probably a nutritionist. My best guess for you will be that you'll start by having to limit your carbs. My specific guidelines are 30 grams of carbs for breakfast, plus 30 grams of carbs per snack, three times daily -- one after each meal (with the last a before-bed snack) and 50 grams of carbs for lunch and dinner. YOUR guidelines may be different from mine. I'd found 45|15 45|15 45|15 somewhere online before I met with my nutritionist.
My cousin had GD with all three of her pregnancies and delivered naturally 7-pounders. One was a week early, the next three weeks and the last four weeks -- all healthy and zero complications. So I'm hopeful. :)
Good luck! (PS: They say stress aggravates your blood sugar too!)

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

With a little luck you won't need insulin shots. You need to do your very best to follow any diets that your ob/gyn or nutritionist recommend. Keeping your blood sugar level within the range that your doctor recommends is the best thing that you can do for your baby. One concern is that even though many women are no longer diabetic after delivery, they are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later on.
With my youngest, now 10, I was gestationally diabetic. I followed the nutritional guidelines my doctor gave me, may baby was fine. You are likely to have a planned c-section. Most women with gestational diabetes give birth to large babies--9 lbs and over--so it is safer for mom and baby to have a c-section, usually at 37.5-38.5 weeks.
Try not to be nervous. Hope this helps

I did a number of years ago with two of my three children. The main advice I would give you is to go to a nutritionist. I kept mine well under control following the advice on diet. I have not developed diabetes in the years since giving birth, and both children are fine (one is 25, the other 20). I took no medicine with either, just carefully followed the diet.
