    How did this go for you? I was diagnosed at 31.5 weeks too and just got the glucose monitor this weekend after a lot of going back and forth trying to get a diabetes appt. Of course this weekend was Christmas, so I wasn't eating ideally. Still trying to find the balance. It has for the most part been going well. Definitely see a spike if I eat any sweets. Did your birth go okay? Any advice would be great!
