Well 18 lbs. but realistically this has been something going on my whole life but she explained to me that when you get pregnant the body doesn't produce insulin as well so where I would just gain weight from not eating before, its not only causing me to gain but to also develop high blood pressure and elevated blood levels after meals because my body goes bizzurk with the small amount of food that it does get. She said I allow myself to get too hungry which makes my body store what it gets. And even though I'm eating, I'm not getting enough carbs or proteins so its living basically off of sugar. Hope that make sense lol @heltemjm

Have you gained a lot of weight from skipping? I'm petrified of that

Awww yea well make sure you're getting that protein and snacking enough plus the normal 3 meals a day. That was the issue and it's causing my blood pressure to go up to:-/ @heltemjm

Oh wow. I think that may be my problem

Well because I kept failing the glucose test so they thought I had the GD. So they asked me to come in to do more test and after doing the finger test they saw that my levels were really low and when I do eat they spike because my body tries to store it which caused me to also gain weight. She also made me log my food and that confirmed it....@heltemjm,

How did they figure out it was from not eating enough?
