FINALLY - THE RESULTS ARE IN

After daily persistant calls to my doctors office, I finally got someone to look at my chart to see if my results came in. Surprise surprise they have come in and were already reviewed by a doctor, no one took the time out yet to call me. I am so irritated.
Well the nurse confirmed my fears, my fasting level was high and my other two levels were close to range, but the doctor stated that because of my history with gestational diabeties and because of how early it is (normally the insulin resistance issues does not occur until later in the pregnancy such as 26 weeks etc.) they want me to go see a dietician and start back on my low carb diet with glucose testing four times daily. If this can control it they will not prescribe the insulin, but if at my next appointment on 9/7 if my levels are not controlled with diet they likely will prescribe me insulin. Yuk, I really do not want to have to go through all of that again. Hopefully my diet will take care of it this time.
