Day 1 of this Gestational diabetes diet and sugar monitoring. 😒 Didn't eat Bf. Ate cereal for lunch, tested 2 hrs later: sugar was 110 👍 ate a half a sandwich right after testing. Was hungry! They want me to gain 2lbs a month! I gained 4 lbs this month, this is gonna be hard! Any mommas going through this it went through This?
I am diabetic and had to do this my entire pregnancy and is not easy but so worth it in the end when my baby girl was healthy. they wanted my fasting number 90 or below and 1 hr after meals no higher then 120. I was on insulin and took a long lasting twice a day and fast acting three times a day. don't be discouraged if you have high readings just write it down and let the dr know what you ate...near the end for me they had to increase my doses so much every week because of hormones that blocked the insulin from working as well as before lol. just eat right and communicate with your dr and good luck.
@mrsvelasquez today at my check up concerning gd she told me anything over 95 for fasting is consider high. I had a lot of numbers over 95 so they put me on medicine.
@babydavis915 my fasting level this morning was 104
I'm currently doing it as well. I had to start taking medicine twice a day. My fasting levels were to high

I'm eight months pregnant and I've only gained 5lbs!!!! Is that not crazy
AF due 29th, anyone else?
Hi all AF is due 29th Sept for me feels like forever away. Has anyone tested yet or when do you plan on testing x
hi ladies! so i am getting scared about my weight gain and just wanted to know what everyone else (bigger ladies) gained while pregnant. i think ive gained around 27 pounds and im almost 29 weeks... my dr said to relax on the sugar intake and now im paranoid about diabities (have done test waiting for results) would love to hear other mommies experiences!!
on the 6th October I did 2 test with 2 lines , 3rd test was clear blue digital and was positive 2-3 weeks I was waiting for a month for a midwife appointment.. so yesterday I started bleeding went today for a scan and they go to me no sac .. but can see a cyst or a sac outside the womb so therefore she did another test there and it was negative .. she said if it was positive it would have been ectopic pregnancy but because it was negative she said it's miscarriage.
Has anyone else been through...
So the Orange drink for the sugar test wasn't that bad
@eskawho Thanks
