I have gestational diabetes and am 27 weeks. Was detected with GD in 26th week.?

I have no family history of diabetes, had my normal first child and pregnanacy, no blood pressure problems so far, am 29 yrs of age. I dont feel any physical, but am totally disturbed emotionally. I have been told to take my readings 4 times a day. I have been monitoring myself since last 5 days. My fasting readings range rom 85 to 98. My after breakfast 2 hour reading range from 80 to 97. After lunch 2 hour reading from 102 to 129 and after dinner 2 hour reading from 81 to 124. I am trying to follow the diet prescribed as closely as possible. But I am in so much stress thinking what would be my reading after the next meal. I dont even feel like eating anything, just keep eating the same stuff over and over if my reading were good with that particular food trying to make sure my next reading come out good. I am so scared that if I exceed above 90 for fasting or 120 after 2 hours of meal my OBGYN will ask me to take Insulin. Please help. Do I really need to worry?

Aww you sound like I did ( and still do a bit)
It stressed me out too, because no matter how hard I tried, my sugar levels continued to be WAY to high.
My diabetic nurse told me if it wasn't coming down, and I wasn't doing anything wrong, it is my body's fault, not what I eat.
I have to inject insulin now 4 times a day throughout the rest of my pregnancy...and actually, its fine, less stressful and doesn't hurt one bit.
You will be fine.
Also, stressing makes your readings higher.
If they are high, do 10 Min's gentle exercises and take it again...it should come down a bit

stressing is the worse thing.. gestational diabetes is not your fault or the baby's .. its just how your body is responding this time around.. eating the same thing that you have good results on wont help.. you could be missing important vitamins and minerals and nutritional requirements.. stay away from fruit juices.. they are practically pure sugar.. quick rise and sudden fall.. not good at all.. as your doctor to speak with a nutritionist about the situation.. they can show you better meal plans than the basic info sheets can. Ask questions of your doctor..

You'll begin the glucose challenge test by drinking a syrupy glucose solution. One hour later, you'll have a blood test to measure your blood sugar level. A blood sugar level below 130 to 140 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) is usually considered normal on a glucose challenge test, although this may vary at specific clinics or labs. If your blood sugar level is higher than your clinic's threshold, you'll likely need a second test to confirm the diagnosis.
For the follow-up test, you'll be asked to fast overnight. Then you'll drink another sweet solution 鈥?this one containing a higher concentration of glucose 鈥?and your blood sugar level will be checked every hour for a period of three hours. If at least two of the blood sugar readings are higher than normal, you'll be diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
* Medication. If diet and exercise aren't enough, you may need insulin injections to lower your blood sugar level. For some women, the oral medication glyburide may be an option as well.
Your baby will need close observation, too. Your health care provider may monitor your baby's growth and development with repeated ultrasounds or other tests. If you don't go into labor by your due date 鈥?or sometimes earlier 鈥?your health care provider may induce labor. Delivering your baby after your due date may increase the risk of complications.
Prevention
There are no guarantees when it comes to preventing gestational diabetes 鈥?but the more healthy habits you can adopt before pregnancy, the better.
* Eat healthy foods. Choose foods low in fat and calories. Focus on fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Strive for variety to help you achieve your goals without compromising taste or nutrition.
* Get more physical activity. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a day. Take a brisk daily walk. Ride your bike. Swim laps. If you can't fit in a long workout, break it up into smaller sessions spread throughout the day.
* Lose excess pounds. Weight loss during pregnancy isn't usually recommended. But if you're planning ahead, losing weight may help you have a healthier pregnancy. Focus on permanent changes to your eating and exercise habits. Motivate yourself by remembering the benefits of losing weight, such as a healthier heart, more energy and improved self-esteem.
Women with type 1 or 2 should monitor their plasma glucose levels at home. During pregnancy, normal fasting plasma glucose levels are about 76 mg/dL (4.2 mmol/L); treatment aims to keep fasting plasma glucose levels at < 95 mg/dL and 2-h postprandial levels at 鈮?120 mg/dL (鈮?6.6 mmol/L). The goals are no wide plasma glucose fluctuations and glycosylated Hb (Hb A1c) levels kept at < 8%.
Please see the web pages for more details on Gestational diabetes and Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c).

Please follow the instructions of your gynac. If you take medicine for diabetes, there is a child in you. You have to be very careful now because you are pregnant. Recently there was a very long extended arguments on this subject in ayurvedaonline@yahoogroups.com But, nothing could be concluded with the line of treatment.
