Tested prediabetes
Can you choose not to go for the GDM counseling at KKH??? It's chargeable and I think I can just control my diet on my own. I failed the 2hrs test
Congrats on catching it early, prediabetes is definitely manageable, but I'd gently say the KKH counseling is probably worth it, even if it feels like an extra cost! The dietitian there gives you a very specific meal plan tailored to your trimester and weight, not just generic "eat less sugar" advice, and a friend of mine said it actually saved her a lot of guesswork because they track your blood sugar response to specific foods. Some mums do manage fine on their own with diet and exercise, but failing the 2-hour test means your body is already showing some insulin resistance, so having that professional guidance can really make a difference for both you and baby. Do still check with your OB or specialist on whether skipping it is a safe option for your specific case, they'll know your numbers best!
