There's no longer denying, I have gestational diabetes. Let me start with my doctor's visit. Leading up to this appointment, especially since the last one, I've been trying to grasp what could be for me and my little one over the next 4 months. So when my OB reviewed my blood sugar levels and told me they were bad it wasn't as difficult to hear this time around. He explained it to me this way: my placenta is creating a lot more insulin than I usually get and my body cannot regulate it. My diet, albeit good, isn't really doing anything nor is Metformin which I am currently maxed out on. He was very blunt but also very kind, not mincing any words yet keeping it professional.
Babe was at the appointment with me so he heard first hand my new plan. We'll have to continue to go to the perinatologists office that I hate but I'm going to try my best not to be seen my Dr. Rude if I can help it. E also promised me that he would be at every visit and speak up when necessary. I feel much more at ease this time around and am just hoping Bean turns out healthy. We only have 16 weeks to go before this little guy makes his or her arrival and if a few sacrifices here and there ensure his safe arrival, I'm all for it.
