I'm 16 weeks today measuring 17w 4 days and today for the third time almost hit the floor. I ate an hour prior and boom my whole body head to toe literally broke out in a cold sweat and everything starting closing in ob me. Called Dr office and nurse says sounds like gestation diabetes but talked to Dr and said if it makes me feel better to get tested I can but he doesn't feel strongly that I need it till 28 weeks.. scary to deal with that and annoyed kinda that Dr didn't take me more seriously...3rd time this has happened :(

    Eat a low carb diet. No more than 15grams breakfast, 30gram snack, 60gram lunch and dinner and another 30gram snack. It's a little difficult to follow at first, but it's worth it. Gives your body time to break down the carbs (which turn into glucose/sugar). Gestational Diabetes usually doesn't show positive on tests until at least 28weeks. I did a test at 19weeks and 23 weeks with both being negative. At 29weeks, the results were scary as h*ll.
    Best of luck!

    I wasnt feeling great and I made my doc test me. Had GD with last pregnancy so I wasnt gonna take a chance. Now being treated with GD. Your concerns should not be ignored by your doctor. They may get annoyed but keep pushing until they help you.
