I had it with my oldest 8 years ago, it went away when he was about 4 weeks old...the dr told me that GD means I will probably be full blown diabetic within 10 years, I thought no way, I'm only 20.
I had it again with my youngest, he's 15 months, and I had it BAD, I couldn't get my fasting BS under 125 no matter what, I was taking the max amount of glyburide, and at 36 weeks they just decided to take him via csection instead of putting me on insulin
my BS numbers never fully recovered, they hovered at "pre-diabetic" range...I quit testing when he as 5 months old. Lately I've felt terrible, exhausted, tingling in my limbs, hot, sweaty, constantly thirsty, constant hunger, etc...I know what these signs mean, I've been to scared to acknowledge them.
I decided this morning to test my fasting blood sugar for the first time in 10 months. It was 273...I've been crying all morning because I had to face the fact that I am a full blown diabetic. My husband keeps saying "we'll get a diabetic cookbook, theres tons of things you can eat" and im like WTF it isn't the FOOD i'm worried about...it's losing my FEET, my VISION, my LIFE...
I'm making an appt to go get an A1C done...i'm so scared, i don't know what to do Is anyone here diabetic, what can I do to FIX this!?
