Can anyone explain this to me? I have gestational diabetes. Completely controlled with diet. I don't have any high numbers. This morning around 5am I ate a bowl of fruity pebbles and just kinda chilled and then 1.5-2 hours later I ate a piece of string cheese and tested and my blood sugar was crazy high at 205. I got all freaked out and 20-30 minutes later its down to 130. Then at about 10 I ate 4 slices of frozen pizza and two glasses of milk and bounced on my birthing ball before during and after eating and 45 minutes after eating my sugar is 99????

Fruity pebbles is the culprit

Hmm.. Okay. My fasting test wasn't high? Idk. I don't really know how it works but that is the highest I've ever had and before my highest was 146 after an hour a few weeks ago and that scared me bad enough. @foreveryoung247 but thanks

Definitely fruity pebbles. Much higher sugar content. Hubs is type 1 and only eats them as a "low food".

@kmally, I just don't understand why it was never a problem before?? I've been eating them my entire pregnancy.

Diabetes is pretty fluid and can change in a pregnancy. It could be that you're becoming more sensitive to sugary foods?

According to my dr the further into pregnancy the harder it is to control GD. Mine fluctuates a lot now. I used to eat fruit with no problems but I can't now 😠
