As mentioned on my birthing story, I had GDM during my pregnancy so my endocrinologist had me taking insulin until I gave birth. When I was still recovering in the hospital, my blood sugar was still checked and I was glad that they seemed to have gone back to normal.
Before I was discharged, the doctor told me that I need not monitor my blood sugar anymore (no more pricking! yay!) nor take in insulin (no more injecting on my legs! double yay!) BUT I had to be wary of my diet and I still had to take the OGTT come 2012 to be sure na di tumuloy sa diabetes ang aking GDM.
So last Saturday, I went to USTH for the test and had to drink again the orange flavored drink (ok sana kasi parang Royal kasi malamig pa yung binigay sakin kaso talagang sobrang tamis). I was a bit nervous while waiting to see the results because I really do not want to be a diagnosed with diabetis. Thankfully, the results came out all NORMAL. Yes! *pump fists* My doctor told me that I just continue my diet (sa totoo lang, di talaga ako nag-diet after ko manganak and I was nibbling on chocolates which were aplenty during the holidays) and just have the OGTT annually to be sure. No problem with me, doc! I'm just happy and thankful to God to know that I'm not diabetic. :)
