[QUOTE="AngieKali, post: 2247315, member: 522335"] Hi there, firstly congrats on becoming a new mama!! Your post really hit home with me as I come from a family who has struggled with diabetes (dad, uncle and grandmother), I was petrified that I might get GD too, I’ve just had my 2nd child, am slightly overweight- could def shift a few pounds, ( really wish I had the energy and the time to work out/run like I used to but realistically since having kids, I don’t!?) love healthy food and generally do well eating, and like you adore sushi, the odd cake/ brownie etc. But the thought of having to manage watching what I’m eating on top of having a 2 year old and a 6 month old baby is daunting. I just want to say ‘chin up’ you are doing an amazing job bringing a new life into this world and sustaining him. I agree with [USER=511345]@VashtiB[/USER] wait to hear from the Endocrinologist and hormones are all over the place and your likely feeling more anxious than usual with having to be up to feed every few hours. Perhaps speaking to hubby/ partner or friend for support/ comfort. Sometimes a hug and a cup of tea does wonders! (Even virtual) My dr. Did say that the best thing to do was to try to avoid being diabetic in the first place- manage with diet and exercise, for the time being perhaps set aside a few hours to put together a low carb menu? That could give you a handle on when and how much of what you can eat. Sorry I can’t be of more help. But I just wanted you to know that you have support either way. Good luck with the results. I hope it all works out for you. Big Hug!!! :) [/QUOTE]
