Diabetic Meter

I am 26 weeks pregnant and found out yesterday that I failed my 3 hour glucose test. I have been officially diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. Today I had to go and spend time with a dietition and a diabetic specailist who taught me how to use my diabetic meter to measure my blood sugar levels. I now have to prick my finger four times a day. I sure hope that this doesn't develope into type II diabetes, which my mom and grandpa have. I just don't think I can get used to checking my blood levels as I hate pricking my finger. I suppose I will just adjust to it and than it won't bother me as much.
