9:21 amSo here are the updates on the Gestational Diabetes “dilemma” that i was having.. hehe..
1. it isnt really that bad.
2. MY FINGERS ARE ALL NUMB FROM PRICKING!!
3. my goodness im whinging now, IMAGINE the labour..
Had my appointment with the endocrinologist on Tuesday which was 3 days ago. He has given me a diet sheet, told me to go and get a blood sugar level test thingo.. (accucheck machine) and to keep track of my blood sugar after each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) as well as when i wake up (fasting blood sugar). I was really stressed about the appointment as Im sure those of u whe read the previous posts will know.. the dr was lovely and if you are looking for an endocrinologist in Campbelltown/ Liverpool area I highly recommend Dr Mark Borkman. I have been to quite a few considering that PCOS also involves seeing a an endocrinologist for blood sugar level updates as well and some of them are just plain NASTY!!
As i was saying, for the next week i have to monitor my blood sugar levels and i go back and see him on Monday, he is then going to be
prescribing me insulin. He seemed to think that one injection would be fine and at this stage i think i can handle that.. haha who am i kidding? I have to work myself up to prick my finger 
I also have a diet to follow, for those of you who are interested I have posted it on our other website which i will give u the address for at the bottom of the post, its basically a low gi kinda diet but not even really that restrictive. I have to cut out fruit juices, unless i make them half juice half water and i also have to limit sugary foods (lollies, chocolate etc etc) as well as soft drinks.
So i have come to the conclusion that although the finger pricking can be a hassle at times when you are out and about, its managable and gestational diabetes really is going to be ok, the baby is fine.. im fine.. thats all that matters.
Cheers
Rachael
