so i failed both of my diabetes test. BLAH! for the first time ever. it stinks. however, it is not all that bad either. i had to go for training on Friday at the local hospital. it took about two hours and they explained everything from things i should avoid eating to how to use my new handy dandy glucose meter. i have to go back in a week to see if i need to be put on insulin. the nurse seems to think that i might. her reasons are that my body does fine during the day processing everything and my levels are good, however at night while i am asleep is when the problem occurs. i wake up with high blood sugar, which i guess means that i might need a little extra insulin before bed. thank goodness this is only for the next three months. at least that is what they tell me. there is a small chance in anyone who has gestational diabetes that it could stay after the baby but they said that my chances are pretty slim. i have a new sympathy for people that have to do all this on a regular basis. so for this week i am trying out the new system and by next Friday we will know about the insulin. WOO HOO! (sorry i can get a little sarcastic at times) so for now I am staying positive. it could always be worse.

Yuck. That is no fun, but hopefully it's only temporary.
As if you don't have to get enough needles when your prego anyway.
I had it with all 4 pregnancies. It was a pain (and a pain in my finger). So I will have diabetes inthe future I'm sure. If ya need to talk I understand.
