Women with Gestational Diabetes please answer...?

Question

I just got diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes and I have been feeling really crappy (tired, grumpy, no energy, headaches, etc.). I was wondering if these are common symptoms when you have GD or not? I know that these are also normal pregnancy symptoms, but I have not had these until recently. I go to see my doctor on Friday and I plan on bringing up my concerns, but I just wanted to get input from others. Can some of you that have experience with GD please share how you feel? Thanks! :)

Answer 1

I was diagnosed with it on July 21st at 26 weeks.  I am now 32 weeks.  I finally get into the clinic.  I have been following the prescribed diet.  I am tired and lethargic as well.  I';m not sure if its because of the GD or because I am 32 weeks, and it it hot outside...I will find out for sure tomorrow.

Answer 2

when you feel like that you need to check your blood sugar to find out if you are too high or too low and adjust your diet accordingly.
