Insulin dependent :(
8:18 amOK so u have guessed it, well you would have if u read the title.
I had to ring in my blood sugar levels today and got a phone call asking me to come in and see the Dr ASAP! I went straight down to see him and was told that i would need to take insulin throughout my pregnancy.
At the moment I’m on one injection a day, which I have to take before i eat dinner. A little daunting at first but when i had my practice shot I found out the needle doesnt even hurt, i couldnt even tell it had gone in.
I have been advised to follow the same diet, to still check my blood sugar levels 4 times a day and just to add in the injection before dinner.
I did my first injection today and after it felt a lil wierd, not sure if that was me or if it was the insulin. It was like my head was racing and when i spoke to someone to me it sounded like the words were coming out really quickly! WIERD!! I have to ring back my Dr on wednesday (2 days) to give him the results of my blood sugar levels.
So far today, the levels have remained the same, even after the injection. At the moment im not sure if this is because i have only had one injection or if its because its not enough mls of insulin that i have injected. I have started on 4, but Dr expects this to increase to around 16 towards the end of the pregnancy.. will see what happens 
So there it is, gestational diabetes problem solved, now it just has to be managed with the injections
