Gestational Diabetes – a few questions, newly diagnosed?

Sat, 10 Apr 2010 06:58:34 +0000

Hi,
I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I failed 2 of the 3 parts of the 3 hour test. My 1 hour was 197, my 2 hour was 174, and my 3 hour was 118. I am seeing an endocrinologist next week. Until then I was hoping some of you folks could share your stories. I never in a million years thought I would have this. Also, does this further lower your immune system? I am 27 weeks pregnant, 32 years old. So far I have gained 19 lbs. There are so many things in pregnancy to worry about….

Recently Diagnosed W/ Type 1 Diabetes – Some Questions?

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 06:56:41 +0000

About a month ago, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. I’m still a kid, so I was wondering if it had any long-term negatives. I quickly accepted the disease though and try to think of it as an advantage

(Before I would eat unhealthy foods, and live without worrying about problems, but now that I have this disease, i HAVE to eat healthier foods so it might benefit me in the long run anyway)

I just had some questions

1) Even if the disease is under control, does simply having the disease increase my risks of complications, just because I have the disease?

2) How likely is it that my children will get the disease

3) Even if you keep everything under controlled (as mentioned in question 1) Will I die more earlier then without it? For example, if I keep a good Blood Sugar 80% of the time, will the 20% of the time it isn’t good add up to me when I am older like 60-70 causing me to perhaps “die earlier”
Thanks for the responses.

No one in my family that I know of has Type 1 Diabetes, however, my grandmother has type 2, and I believe that a lot of women on her side (my mother side of the family) had type 2 as well.

But yes, I may be the “oddball” as well lol.

Right now I think I am in the honey-moon stage, my BG levels have been 90-120 on average, the reason I was just asking question 3 is because I know when Im out of this stage it’s going to be much more harder to manage, and even if I try my best, I would want to know if the disease honestly lowers life expectancy.

Anyway, there was this lady who staged in this period for 9+ years, hopefully I can do the same, or until an alternative treatment / cure is discovered.

Thanks for the replies by the way
