Gestational Diabetes - Nahin Nahin

The problem with having kids who appear bigger than normal is that, it could be an indicator of gestational diabetes, especially if you are as fat as me, or as old as me! :) I am 34 and right now 76kg+!!! :) But surprise surprise, there is no gestational diabetes - we have done fasting blood sugar and post prandial blood sugar! Actually I was expecting some border line diabetes at least, not just that I was fat before pregnant, and had been fat for at least 10 years before I got pregnant, but both my amma and appa are having diabetes now and are taking tablets!

I was just feeling that I might have at least border line gestational diabetes, if not a serious one, but then it would have been only one more month of medication, since it is only up to delivery, that was a hope! :) But I am surprised that my FBSL is somewhere near 65 or so and PPBSL is somewhere near 75 or so, which is seemingly terribly low!!! The cut off is somewhere at 140! Crazy haan? Anyway, one test out of the way.

I dont have to google search now what it means to my kids if I have gestational diabetes and what is the side effect of taking medicine for that and all that scary crazy stuff of last month!
