Not actually correct. During pregnancy the placenta makes hormones that cause glucose to build up in the blood. The pancreas will normally handle this though by creating enough insulin to absorb that glucose. But if the pancreas can’t make enough insulin or the body stops using insulin as it should the blood sugar levels rise and you get gestational diabetes. It actually has little enough to do with diet. Dietary intake is used to try to control once diagnosed but even then with strict adherence to diet and strict blood sugar levels monitoring many women still find they’ll need medication, especially in the latter stages of pregnancy to control it. There are risk factors of course, obesity and lack of physical exercise being major ones.

Factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, obesity and family history are CONTRIBUTING factors for it! Although bad diet doesn’t necessarily cause it…. It is a contributing factor….
also, not to derail any further, it’s not very smart to be gorging on complete processed tit when you are pregnant is it? It doesn’t help with anything! You need to have a healthy balance of everything to prevent iron deficiency anemia etc…
Back to Lisa… hope the twins slept 9-5
Your contributing factors are actually just risk factors but they don't cause it.
Agreed though, I like to grow my children off better food than KFC, Chinese and highly processed brownies.
I’m only saying what I have been toldLink? No mention of it by the HSE
Why diabetes develops in pregnancy
Find out why some women develop gestational diabetes and how it's checked for during pregnancywww2.hse.ie
will you calm your tits and get back on topic I never claimed to be doctor zhivago love If the HSE diagnose it as necessary it is provided. They told her it is mild/no impact.
I would still pay to have it done privately. It's less than 500.
Thanks for the education
too long to read let’s get back on topic lolYep, about €300. The waitlist is huge in the HSE to get it done and it’s much easier to get it done when they’re a few weeks old. I’d never take the word of a PHN/Doc about it. Was told mine were fine either didn’t have it or it was only mild, struggled through on my first until I took matters into my own hands and went private. If Lisa is reading here do a quick Google, I’m sure there’s someone local to you who does it.
She gets very upset about these things. The thread’s very own MDI’m only saying what I have been told
I do like to think people choose to informed and not ignorant. It’s a shrinking group thoughThanks for the education
Wow, very unfair on the poor babies
The bleeping poll this morningShe gets very upset about these things. The thread’s very own MD
I can barely tell my brother and sister apart let alone a strangers infant twins 
Ah but look, she’s taking our advice and changing up the content a little. Ya know, make it fun people might engage a little moreThe bleeping poll this morning
Brush her hair, get dressed and stop being so obsessive about pumping and there’s a great start for herAh but look, she’s taking our advice and changing up the content a little. Ya know, make it fun people might engage a little more
she can have that advice for free 
And supplement with formula? Oh Jesus no! Sure where would her identity go then? Without constantly being milked she won’t have a purpose. And she might actually have to be around the girls then and spend quality time with them, heaven forbidBrush her hair, get dressed and stop being so obsessive about pumping and there’s a great start for her
Is it wrong to want the pump to malfunction and rip her nip off?
It’s just more mom shaming that can’t be backed up with facts. My tits are grandI’m only saying what I have been told
.Well judging by the setting she has it on it’s only a matter of time
I’d say the entertainment from this new dose will be unreal. Over 8k followers. I’d say we’ll have a thread by the weekend
Here a thread for remaining hopeful. This thread is derailing.
She said it was a minor one that they wouldn’t do. I know someone recently who had a baby with a minor one and was told it would be 8 weeks for an appointment so they went private. It was £200.
