dont worry, so far your gestational diabetes is very very mild.

10.2 is considered "normal", and 11.1 is not really very far off.

if it was 14 and beyond, it would probably have those signs and symptoms. it is just like saying

the normal range of blood pressure is 120 - 140 over 60 - 80

if my blood pressure is 141 over 82, would i have severe headache and palpitations? or snowy vision?

i hope you understand what i am trying to say, so.. well.. do not worry about the gestational diabetes portion though... it is very mild, just monitor it, and that should be sufficient...

do note, that slightly elevated blood sugar, could result in a fat baby, and this may be a little tough to push out... really

and, also, studies have shown that there is a higher risk of you getting diabetes later in your life, probably 10? 20 years down the road. do take care =)

cheers
