Gestational Diabetes- update at bottom
I just got a call from my dr saying my bloodwork was normal except my blood sugar is high and that I have gestational diabetes. Ill be ten weeks tomorrow, I guess I'm freaking out as they want me to see another dr to try to modify my diet and excercise to control it before using medications. I already exercise and I thought ate healthy I'm only 114 lbs and dont eat junk or fast food etc. Any one have this with their pregnancy and was able to control it with diet and exercise and had a positive outcome.

@Perly thank you that makes me feel better, I'm just worried about the effects on the baby.
Just so you know, my cousin is perfectly healthy when she's not pregnant, but for some reason she develops GD when pregnant.... So your blood sugar and panels being normal before pregnancy have really nothing to do with you having GD now while pregnant.

@HomeBirthAdvocate I'm going to ask monday when I see the dr my mom wanted to know what ny A1C is also she is curious as she is a nurse.
@Mijita thanks i have been doing alot of research and will do more so that all my questions will be answered by the dietician. I wish they would have told me i was prediabetic and not flat out say you have gd and caused me to panic and stress about it but glad they are taking precautions.
Plus my blood sugar monitoring has been with in normal limits. He says it would be very rare/uncommon for me to have it since i have no past blood sugar problems and that i was underweight when getting pregnant, but Wish me luck ladies that it was a misdiagnosis. I'm tired of pricking my finger and stressing over a condition I may not even have. Geez
