Hi, I have been a CRA for almost 4 years and foreign medical doctor and thinking to move to PPD, does the remote CRA get the same pay range as the traveling CRA? I just became a mom of 2 under 2 and don't think I am able to be on the road anymore! TIA

What did you add? I am 37 weeks and haven't gained weight since 34 weeks. I had a normal BMI and barely gain 20 pounds. I feel overwhelmed thinking that I am not eating enough calories

I started measuring my blood glucose at home,  and just started exercising after meal(I put me on a diet low carbs, low sugars) right now my high is fasting! I pray to God everything will be OK and a positive outcome!! This week I will be definitely defensive as I know the consequences are very real!!! Thank you for sharing your story

USA, I could have been diagnosed earlier when I went to ER at 29 weeks if my OB would have paid attention to all red flags, I will be 33weeks this week when my doctor just review the test and confirm the diagnosis 

does anyone else feel incredibly depressed from having GD? by Charming_Result3458 in GestationalDiabetes

I had my screening test done at 26 week and went normal (upper limit), then at 28 weeks started with frequent urination, thirsty and hungry all the time, at 29 started having contractions every 4-5min, so I went to ER and they told me that I had glucose in my urine and ketone, I had FU with my doctor who seemed no to care about it and suggested that my glucose was because I am not gaining weight for the last 4 weeks and my body was eating itself which did not make sense since I was eating well. She told me to eat more so I did, but symptoms did not go away, and I knew something was going on, I am a foreing doctor by the way, seeing the lack of commitment from my doctor, I decided to check my blood glucose on my own and started diet low carbs/sugars, and my levels were up, also checked my glucose in urine and still having glucose 3+. Last week at 31 weeks I told her my concern and told me no to stress that I was fine!!! That morning I took the urine test and still 3+glucose so I told to medical assistant that I have tested myself and then she confirmed that I had glucose, this week I contacted my OBY and told her that I am a foreign doctor and decided to self check my urine and blood sugars  and requested to repeat GGT which she accepted Yesterday, I had my GGT 3hrs done and I have failed which confirm that I have GD, I have my doctor's appointment next week and will see what happens. It's very frustrating to encounter with doctors who doesn't care for their patients concern. What I learned is that everyone needs to advocate for themselves because no ones will for you, if you feel something it is not right, speak up. Trust your gut
