Pregnancy Diet Restrictions

gestatinal diabetes...please help!?

hi all,
i am in my 31st week of my second pregnancy. almost 3 week ago i was diagnosed with gest diab. but my problem is that i have a family history of diab, even i lost my dad this jan becoz of diab issues...he was only 57.
anyway, till now i kept my numbers mostly under control with occasional spikes , by diet restriction only.
but now most of the time, my 1 hour after breakfast readings are always around 145-160..the normal being 60-140. my question is do i still need to worry?? my baby is on the 50th percentile so not big due to GD,..touchwood!!
i am really scared to start insulin as your body gets used to it...so do u think even when my fasting and an hour after lunch and dinner readings are normal, the doc can start insulin??
please answer.
thanks in advance.

Your doctor has the most informed opinion on the matter since 1. (s)he's a doctor, 2. (s)he knows the most about your medical condition and 3. (s)he has the results of your blood tests.

Your doctor will decide whether or not to put you on insulin. You can always seek a second opinion.
