Apparently I have had gestational diabetes for quite a while since 16 weeks but I have now 25 weeks and on insulin. Thanks

Gestational diabetes is a not so uncommon situation in pregnancy. In many cases it can result in a condition known as toxemia, where the Mom becomes swollen with edema and high blood pressure.

So long as you follow Doc’s ‘orders’ and don’t push yourself, chances are likely that 1) once the baby is delivered, the diabetes leaves, 2) there should be no long term affects on the babe.

That is not to say that everything will be fine. As with any ‘condition’ affecting the Mom, there can be some effects on the babe as well. Chances are the hospital will want to keep a close eye on the newborn just to ensure that s/he does not develop diabetes or related conditions.

Now before you panic, note the use of the terms ‘not uncommon,’ ‘chances are’ etc. Both my boys were subjected to my wife’s gestational diabetes and resulting toxemia. They are now 17 and 21…and healthy as horses. So is she. So take heart, listen to what the Doc’s tell you and stay positive. You are not alone.

My son is 11 years old and I’d like to find safe places where he can go and find out more about his condition and if there is any place that he can chat with other kids his age who have the same issues he’s dealing with.

Ask his doctor about support groups for both you and your son.

Check out camps for kids with diabetes.
The one near me has summer camp and during the year they have sessions for kids and adults.

Good luck.
