Re: off topic: Pregnant with gestational diabetes

Car, are they sending you to a class or dietician to give you a diet plan &

glucometer?

Another thing that helped me for a time. As my 2 hr readings (called 2 hr

postprandial) after meals began to rise about the 120 cut off I was given I

found I could go walk a block or two after eating meals & that would help my

body keep my glucose lower. For me eventually I had to use insulin, which was

NOT a big deal at all in retrospect. Just trying to share tips as I recall them.
