Like Deb just said "nothing is going to be easy with this pregnancy " when she called with my results. Of course I have gestational diabetes, why wouldn't I! Because everything was going so smooth.
At this point im right on the border, but because I have PCOS im already insulin resistant - which is why im at such high risk for gd and they've been testing so frequently.
A true diabetic doesn't produce insulin, insulin resistance and gestational diabetes means you produce insulin but your body gets confused with the sugar.
For the next week I have to start testing my blood, timing eating and keep a journal. When I see her Tuesday we will plan accordingly to what needs to happen according to my results. They start treatment with diet, if that doesn't work they try a pill if that doesn't work they put you on insulin.
Its just one more reason to monitor close and put you on the monitors regularly. It causes babies to get bigger as well as their placentas, so they keep a close eye. (Good news of that is, the bigger they are the less time we spend in a nicu, I so badly want to just take them right home!)
Deb said its so common now they expect that soon it will effect 50% of the population. Crazy!!
I already eat so healthy im not quit sure what I will change but we will see what she says Tuesday. You kind of just have to laugh, (now that I don't feel like crying ) we could of just predicted it. I just am so incredibly thankful to be pregnant, with twins, and in the best hands possible.
One more bump, here we go.....
