Am I diabetic?

[sapphiresunstar]

After my blood glucose test my OB said my reading was high (119) and that I had gestational diabetis. Everything I have read says that less than 120 is a normal reading. I am so confused. Is my doctor just trying to scare me into dieting? I am over weight. Please help.

it's diabetus brought on by the pregnancy...it concerns the doc because it effects the baby...so follow the docs directions and it should go away when you deliver but you must follow the docs instructions so you don't have any complications during your gestation....things that would effect the health of the fetus.

You are boarderline dear and if I were you, I would listen to my physician. Do what's right, you only have one shot to give this baby the best while in utero that you can. Don't blow it!
