Today I received a phone call from my prenatal nurses and docs informing me that I have tested positive for gestational diabetes.
While I know this isn't for a type 2 or 1, I have been told that I'm still at risk for type 2....
Let's just say, right now, I felt like I've been dealt a hard blow because I love sugary stuff. I am aware this isn't the end of the world for me but it's still depressing.
I think what depresses me more is my baby is going to possibly have the same health problems that comes from my side of the family.
In a few days I'll be getting another call about being put in a class to learn about my new issue and what I have to do.
Though I would like to know if any of you guys have any tips. Besides the big one which is eat healthy. I know I need to avoid sugar but is there any other things that have hidden sugar or stuff that diabetics can't have?
I'm gotta do what I gotta do to bring a healthy kid in the world and keep it that way.
