I have had 5 children with GD. Last 3 with insulin to control it. I demanded that I was seen by the diabetes doc right from the start of pregnancy in my last pregnancy. Not let me wait till 20 wks+ to start attending GD clinic. This really helped me control my diabetes from the start. I gave birth to a healthy 6lb 4oz baby 4 wks early but due to high blood pressure. The early care from the diabetes doc and following the diet strictly kept my baby healthy and and at a good weight. You can do it. Just be diligent.
