Just been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes

I had this in my first pregnancy and so far haven’t tested positive… I found the Facebook group gestational diabetes Uk unbelievably helpful. They have a website that talks you through it and has some great recipes. No need to be hungry! My top tip is lots of water and a walk after a meal where you can brings the sugars down. Good luck, you’ve got this! X

I have GD currently I’m insulin controlled. Your appointment next week will be to give you a test kit and explain what you can and can’t eat. If you have any questions you can always message me x

You just need to test to see what your body can and can't tolerate. Don't panic, it's a bit of trial and error to start with, but it gets easier x

Did you have any signs of this? I’ve got my test in few weeks

@Charlotte not that I'm aware of, it doesn't really display any symptoms from what I've read
