My daughter had a severe case of gestational diabetes this time around. She was injecting insulin three times a day and still her blood sugar was running around 245. There was a lot of concern over the baby and he was closely watched the first 24 hours. This wasn't the first time she had this while pregnant but it was definately the worst!

Daughter got bad news. The diabetes didn't go away. The doctor put her back on insulin, pills this time. She sent my daugher to a family doctor who specializes in diabetes but they called and told her they can't get her in for a visit until September. What the heck? She can't go back to her OB doctor now. How is she supposed to keep it under control if no one is monitoring her or refilling scripts?

I'm pretty upset about this. She is having episodes of fainting already and I'm getting really worried. I know you guys can't do anything to help but I figured venting wouldn't hurt.
