So this is my 4th pregnancy and 2nd go at gestational debates. I had it with my first pregnancy and now this one. The first one I was on insulin almost right after finding out I had it. To be honest 10 years ago they didn't have the information like the do now on how it effects your baby... So I didn't even really try to control anything then. But this time around I've done awesome with diet control! I was told closer to my due date that because my body will need more insulin I will most likely be placed on insulin. I was told its because the hormones in the body interfere with the production of extra insulin. Anyway, so now I'm 37 weeks and just started on insulin today. I mention this because with my first child I was 19 with this one I'm 30 I really don't think the age has too much to do with the way we produce insulin. Exercise does help a ton to keep you bg lower! Also some one asked about a really good site for recipes... I have an awesome one that I found. I was so excited to find it because it make me feel like I could eat regular food again... You know food with flavor lol anyway here is the site... I hope I helped some one on here
