gestational diabetes.. yes, doc tells me most women with gestational diabetes don't remain diabetic after the baby is born. But the part he chose to miss out is once you've had gestational diabetes, you're at higher risk for getting it again in future pregnancy and for developing diabetes later in life.
i know i'm at high risk of diabetes cos of my family medical history, but even so.. all these years i've quit my sweet tooth and been controlling my sugar intake - be it starch or sugar. it's a hard slap on my face that i'll still in high risk diabetic during pregnancy and old age. yes, it's good that i'm diagnosed at early stage now, but it's harder to control with pregnancy now! i have to provide for jeremiah yet i have to specially control my diet.
cant help sighing.. why is my pregnancy so difficult?!! yes, it's God-bless but.. so many downs and 'negative' news!! i could take it then, cos joe was with me at the gyn visit. but now that he's returned to taiwan, i'm alone to manage this problem. .. i'm not even sure how to control, esp i've already been controlling all these years..
all i pray is whatever sickness or illness, let it stop at me.. dont pass it on to little jeremiah. he will grow into a healthy person, with no such 'family medical history'.. in Jesus' Name, i pray.
