GDM/Gestational Diabetes

Hello mummies. Am currently at 29 week 3 days. I went to KKH ODAC as my Blood test after glucose tolerance test was borderline and they took it as i have GDM. I have to prick myself 2 days every week 7 times. According to the glucometer result guide, my sugar level have been in the safest side. Mind you i was eating clean strictly. And then received a call saying that when they see the results its not favourable. So i have to the diabetic tablets. What does this mean? This is stressing me out like wth they want me to do? I eat clean, eat fruits that are recommended and strictly on Mineral Water. I’m so annoyed like what else am I supposed to do? Give me a break. #advicepls #pleasehelp #firstbaby

I was borderline GD as well I’m on strictly no carb no sugar diet and the result is all in the safe range. I even lost weight during my 3rd tri when I start this diet. Then the dietitian ask me to eat more carb because I didn’t gain weight enough (my breakfast daily will be 3 slides of whole grain bread kosong, lunch and dinner will be purely meat and veg - mix of green veg and carb veg like potato or pumpkin, etc. fruit I try to avoid the sweet ones and follow the serving allowed) . I’m 34w now and I gained about 5kg in total. It’s super boring to be on this diet and nobody like the weekly fingers pricking. Just try to hang in there for you LO. Just few more weeks to go! 💪🏻
