Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Well, we were awakened this morning by the phone ringing. It was my OB calling to tell me that the results of my most recent fasting glucose test indicate that I am developing gestational diabetes. My OB has had me going in for a fasting glucose blood draw after every appointment, which has been every two weeks. She says she will schedule an appointment for me with a fetal internal medicine specialist, and get me set up with a glucometer machine. I'm SO sad about this. Been feeling like a failure all day long. I know that I couldn't have prevented it, but still, somehow I feel like I should have been able to. I am 32 weeks along and have gained a total of 10 lbs. Does anyone have experience with gestational diabetes after having had a gastric bypass? I'm curious about the dietary changes I will have to make. It's not like I eat sugary stuff anyway, but I know there's lots more to it than that.
