Hi all! 
I've just had a call from my midwife saying that my GTT results came out a bit high (she didn't say exact numbers) and I have to go and see her tomorrow!
I've got diabetes in my family and my BMI is 35 so I'm a good 'candidate' for GD......
I've had a good read up about GD and it seems that 85-90% of women can control GD with a good diet and exercise, and 10-15% of women need either tablets or injections.
My problem is this..........
My diet is very poor
I don't eat and fruit or veg
I don't eat pasta, rice or cheese 
Although I don't necessarily binge eat or snack throughout the day, this leaves my diet full of crap (basically)
Please please please does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to help keep my sugars under control???
Also, the night before my GTT I was at a party and was merrily munching on some cake at about 11pm
shock
before someone pointed out that I was supposed to be fasting from midnight (not the best thing to be eating the night before my GTT!) Would this of had an effect on my results?
Sorry for the ramble ladies, just going through some panic here!
