Question: Sugar level high and i have to see a nutrientist?
okay so i got a hold of my doctor today i am 32 weeks pregnant by the way and i was told that my numbers are high and that he is setting me up with a nutrientist? and my blood sugar will have to be monitored does this mean that i have diabetes?if so is it gestational or is it type 1 or type 2?and what will happen?

Answers:

It sounds as if you have gestational diabetes. The nutritionist will set you up with a meal plane...it doesn't dictate what you can eat, but limits the amount of carbs that you eat at each meal (typically 3 meals of 45 grams of carbs and 3 snacks of 30 grams). They'll teach you how to test your blood sugar...some have you report all of your readings, some only want you to call if you have multiple numbers that are high. Most women are able to keep their blood sugar normal with diet and exercise at first, but as the weeks go on it becomes harder to do...some make it through the whole pregnancy with just diet and exercise, but the majority end up on either oral medication or insulin.
