Thanks, everyone. I am seeing a dietician and a nurse at least once a week, I'm getting ultrasounds every four weeks, and eating really well. The tricky thing with gestational diabetes is that the sugars tend to keep getting higher as the placenta produces more hormones, even if you're eating like an angel. What gave me about a 98 two hours after a meal two weeks ago is now giving me about 108, so it seems to be creeping up. I joined a gestational diabetes forum too to get lots of tips and a lot of the women say the ultrasounds are inaccurate when it comes to estimating the baby's weight, so some women are told they're having 9 pound babies when they're really having 7 pound babies. I'm measuring normal, so I'm not too worried at this point.
