Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with GD at 28 weeks this was the worst news for me due to my pregnancy craving being chocolate, sweets & cakes lol. Anyway I have been doing well keeping all levels within range, have my down days I have my 36 week scan coming up in 2 weeks & I'm so nervous! Although sugar levels are okay I'm worried babies stomach has got big which will mean il be put on insulin, yes may only be for a few weeks if I am but I am adamant I'm not injecting myself, I have a huge phobia of needles & injections, even testing my bloods is a major effort I have to mentally prepare myself 10 minutes before I actually manage to do it :( sounds so stupid! I'm wondering if anyone has any stories of managing diet controlled GD before, during & what happened after birth, also if I refuse insulin what will happen? Sorry for long post & thank you :)
