I am going to start seeing the perinatologist for uncontrolled gestational diabetes. Will I still see the OB on a regular basis and only go to the perinatologist for the diabetes also? Will my regular OB still do the delivery or will the perinatologist do it? What can I expect out of my visits with the new doctor and what sort of extra testing will they do on the baby if I have to take insulin?

I have Type 2-Meal planning is the hardest thing to learn how to do-I’m very busy during the day so I only cook one meal a day(supper)-However with Diabetes you have to eat small meals and I’m not sure exactly how to plan the menus. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I’m doing a research project on the food that people with diabetes can eat. The project is a grant proposal, and I need to find out what the consequences are for people with diabetes who make poor food choices are. Do they get sick, can they die, does their blood sugar spike up? Any help would be appreciated. =]

Type 2 diabetes runs in my family, both my grandma and my dad have it. My diet isn’t the best in the first place, but I want to do my best to try and avoid getting diabetes in the future.

I am 27 weeks pregnant, I go in for my glucose test in 3 weeks. I was just wondering if there are any warning signs that I may have gestational diabetes. This is my second pregnancy, I didn’t have any problems with my first pregnancy nor do I have a history of diabetes or high blood pressure or anything like that. I have just been feeling really sick the past few days. Every time I eat I feel very nauseous and sometimes even have stomach pain. Does anyone know if this is normal? Thanks.
