i failed the 1 & 3 hour tests. i'm so upset. i know there's nothing i could have done, but i just keep thinking about how this could give them health problems later in life. i go to see a specialist on wednesday to get a growth scan and counseling on how to manage my diet. my diet wasn't perfect, but i didn't think it was horrible either. anyone else have to deal with this too?

TTC from 06/2015...Baby M born 11/24/16!
The diet is trial-and-error at first, which can be stressful, but once you get a good idea of what works for you in terms of keeping your blood sugars in line, you can get into a routine with eating.
ETA: Also, I've heard the risk of gestational diabetes is higher with twins, so chances are you were going to get it regardless of healthy eating.

With a little luck, maybe you won't even have to change your diet much. I ended up having to cut WAY back on carbs, but my 1-hour number was 193, which is almost high enough qualify for a diagnosis without even doing the 3-hour. On the 3-hour test, my fasting number was ok, but my other 3 numbers were elevated, with the 2-hour number actually a bit higher than the 1-hour. So, I was definitely not in the "mild" range.
When he was born his blood sugar was perfectly fine and he was and is thriving. Healthy as can be and super tall and lean (at 1 1/2 years old).
Just follow the diet that they give you and you will be just fine.
If for whatever reason you end up needing insulin it is not the end of the world! You and your babies will be just fine!!!

For me, the hardest thing to give up was my morning bowl of cereal. It sucked, but I just kept reminding myself that it was only temporary. Hopefully you'll pass and won't have to deal with it, though.
