That was the strangest thing about gestational diabetes... I was *very* concerned about my diet throughout pregnancy, to the point of worrying myself sick about hurting my baby if I ate a cookie...that the HOUR after I delivered, the hospital gave me a plate of food...with nothing but carbs! There was the largest piece of pie I had ever seen...and this was for lunch! ha ha! I asked a nurse if I could eat it, if my g.d. was gone, and she casually said, "yeah". I'm surprised that they weren't more concerned with my longterm diet..so my healthy eating basically came to a halt that day. oh well.
I haven't had to get tested regularly, haven't been told to change my diet (I love carbs, too). I'm glad to have talked about it, b/c I need to take control of my diet on my own, and not wait for a test to tell me to do it. Thanks for listening! :-)
