Did you get gestational diabestes during pregnancy? If yes were you on insulin or on diet?

I go for a glucose screening test next week myself, I am 6 months pregnant right now, and that is a routine thing. Im dreading that stuff I Have to drink!!! :( Either way, if I end up with gestational diabetes, I will let you know which method they choose for me. but I pray that I do not have it.

Did you know that they recently discovered 8 Brach's jelly beans delivers the same sugar as that vile orange drink? Sounds like a much more palatable way to be tested?

I was borderline with my first child, had to do Humulin N and R for my second (twins), and for my third pregnancy I'm doing 40 units of N in the morning. I try to eat well (although I am craving fruit which I can't have now)and keep up on my sugar testing. Thankfully it's controllable and there's an end in sight!
