If you get gestational diabetes during pregnancy will you have diabetes for the rest of your life?
Not necessarily. I had it and after the pregnancy approx. 3 months later My sugars were back to normal. u must exercise and be careful about what you eat during the pregnancy otherwise your body will think high sugar is the norm and then you will end up diabetic. GOod luck!

Can gestational diabetes happen anytime during pregnancy?
Posted by admin on Sep 21, 2009
Can it happen all the way at the end, or only in the second trimester (when you test for it)?
it could happen anytime…but there are some symptoms that your dr could test you early for…my sugar levels were high at the beginning, but they have tapered off here towards the end
Gestational Diabetes and Information

I talk about gestational diabetes and what I have to do to monitor and control it. I show the Glucometer and the basics on how to use it. I talk about how many times I have to draw my blood and a little bit about the diet they have me on.
If you have any questions about gestational diabetes, or related, feel free to ask me. If I don’t know the answer, I will ask my dietitian and get back to you.
Sorry I look icky, I haven’t been feeling too well lately. It’s also night time, so the quality is even worse, lol. I tried to upload this a few times today, it didn’t work out to well. So I made a new one and hopefully it works well.

when woman have a gestational diabetes screen during pregnancy do they get results the same day they take it?
Posted by admin on Sep 18, 2009
or will i have to wait to get my results of the test a few days or longer?
If there’s a problem, the doctor’s office will contact you as soon as they receive the results which is usually within a day or two of you taking the test. Otherwise, you will have to wait until your next appointment for them to tell you that everything’s fine. If you’re worried about the results, give them a call anyway. The best way to ease your mind is to know the results right away.
Good luck!

Did you develop gestational diabetes during your pregnancy?
Posted by admin on Sep 15, 2009
What did you do to take care of it?
Yes I did and it really surprised me since no one in my family is diabetic and I’m not overweight. Perhaps actually those two things have nothing to do with developing gestational diabetes….but I digress….
Luckily for me I could control my diabetes with diet alone. I had to test my blood two times a day (although sometimes I did it more often) and basically followed a no sugar, reduced carb diet. I must admit, it was challenging for me. There were times when I wanted to cry because I missed a little dessert after dinner. I purchased a Diabetic cookbook and made some reduced sugar desserts. If I was really hurting for some sugar, I’d go out and by the artificially sweetened candy for diabetics (although I didn’t do this often). You also must limit your fruit intake too so for me, an apple became dessert and I really looked forward to eating it when I could. It obviously got easier as my pregnancy progressed. I gained little weight (20 pounds in total at 9 months) and felt absolutely FANTASTIC. I had the energy of a young child. While other friends complained at 9 months of feeling awful, I felt great. Truly a benefit fo the diabetic diet and I’ll be honest, I’m pretty close to maintaining it now too. After I gave birth, my levels were restored back to normal and I could enjoy desserts again. I weighed myself two weeks after I gave birth. I was 6 pounds over my NORMAL weight. I was in jeans in no time. Yes, I most likely have gestational diabetes if I get pregnant again but now I know what I have to do. I have a beautiful, healthy daughter so its all worth it. Good luck!
