Thank you for all your supportive comments about my last post. I have now met with everyone I've needed to to get my GD under control. Thankfully I do not need insulin. Mainly I just need to pay attention to how many carbohydrates I'm consuming at certain meal times or for a snack. Everything seems to be going pretty good now that I know what I'm doing and I know that I can handle this. I am having to check my blood glucose levels 4 times a day. I've gotten used to the prick- even though I don't enjoy it.
When I was at my nutrition appointment on Monday the nutritionist was surprised that I had GD. I told her I completely agreed. She then told me about another patient of hers that was the same size as me and was a nurse at the hospital. Apparently she was surprised too but got really mad about it all and was asking to see her levels. I found this to be hillarious. Of course the nutritionist didn't know I was mad too but had gotten over it by the time I saw her :)
