Hi all.
I have gestational diabetes, I have been monitoring my sugars for a few weeks now and it going really well, the doctors are please with my results etc. My concern is the weight loss, in the last 9 weeks I have lost 15lb....normally this would be great but I am 22 weeks pregnant and just cannot see how that amount of weight loss can be good. My consultant didn't take me very seriously when I mentioned my concern and just told me to ask the diabetic team (I am seeing them Wednesday) I eat a healthy well balanced diet but now my blood pressure is low, my sugars go up (always under 7) but they crash back down again really quickly. I have tried slow release carbs. I have been fine up until 3 days ago where my sugars and blood pressure just sort of do their own thing..
Any advice would be great
Thank you
