Hi @gdmme, and welcome. First of all congratulations to the newest member of your family! As a new mom concerned about the care of your baby, it is important to consider your own health too. @lj1982 and @lizkat wrote a while back about gestational diabetes. I hope they will return to share their experiences with you. I'm also tagging @dawn_giacabazi on this discussion.

In the meantime, here is some information about gestational diabetes from Mayo Clinic http://mayo like.in/2d2nyCZ

Gdmme, we look forward to getting to know you. How old is your baby? What lifestyle or diet changes have you had to make to help manage the diabetes?
