Will Diabetes Affect My Wedding Day

I am just starting to plan my wedding day and I am wondering what I can do to make sure that diabetes doesn’t affect my day.

I haven’t long been diagnosed as a pre diabetic so I am nervous that the extra excitement/stress of the day could play havoc with my sugar levels and maybe end up in me having a black out.

I am sure that  it will be ok but I am sure you can understand why I am so worried. Having to look for a plus sized wedding dress is stressing me out enough as it is without having to worry about the chance of a hypoglycemic fit.

So what precautions should I be taking before my wedding to make sure that the day goes as smoothly as possible?

I have just been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes?

Abril H asked:

This is my first baby at 39 and I am a little scared of what is going on. We see the Dr. tomorrow, but I am still scared. I have only put on 15lb so far and just started walking again. I am 5″1 1/2 and 164.lb. I do eat fairly well, fruits, veggies, and home grown meat. I guess after the 3 hour test my score should have been under 105 and mine was 131. Just want to know what I should be doing and eating to keep my baby boy healthy. I was hoping so much to have a natural delivery and to go full term. Just hoping you gals out there would have some more info. Thanks all
