I’m really freaking out about this gestational diabetes!!!! My doctors don’t help none when I try to…

How high is high? What’s your numbers ?

I had GD, and I did deliver early via csection. I was freaking out because dieting was extremely hard. I had to count my calories, eat EVERYTHING sugar free, eat fresh food/avoid processed foods, plan my meals/snacks, and check my sugar after to every meal. it was hard but after a week oR two I was able to eat better and avoid certain foods. the health of your baby and pregnancy is essential. i hope this helps! 🤗

@pnkbuttaflies, fasting be 90 to 100 breakfast be 100 to 112 dinner be 100 to 124

Have you been keeping track of your diet? I can't fully remember everything about it. I had it with my last child almost 4 years ago. I know I checked my sugars 4 times a day and had to stay under 15g of carbs a day.. it's basically fruit, veggies and protien. Is there any possible way to not eat in the middle of the night? If so eat something light like fruit or protien something with no carbs and maybe no added sugars to see if that helps. I always drank water and stayed clear of anything types of sugary drinks.

@butterflymom3, thank you my dad told me to try to stay way from processed foods

@jasminsmith782, yes that helps and you welcome

@britknenicole, thanks I been working on it I have been drinking diet sodas and water eating protein bars

@jasminsmith782, honestly that’s not really that high at all. Just make sure you stop eating around 7pm and it’s healthy like salad with egg or chicken. To me those numbers sound borderline. Eat right and you can get them lower .

@jasminsmith782, diet soda you need to cut out immediately !!! Only water and seltzer for you.

You shouldn’t only be eating good carbs like sweet potatoes and brown rice . Every other carb is a no no

@pnkbuttaflies, thank you for your advice I’m going to switch up just want to have a healthy baby and try not to stress

@jasminsmith782 I've had gestational with both kids. Target fasting is 95 or lower. Target three hours after meals is 120 or lower. When you have to eat in the night, eat things without carbs-eggs cheese meat Canadian bacon pickles. That way you won't raise sugar. Follow the diet guidelines and the other times eat carb free foods. Your numbers aren't that bad. Both of my babies were 6 lbs and 12 Oz. They try to freak you out. But if you follow guidelines and track sugars all will be okay. Diet wasn't enough for me, I had to have insulin as well and things still turned out fine. I'm here if you have questions

@mct, thank you so much

I’m glad I saw this post! find out today if I have GD and I’m so nervous about it

@sweetestsin120, wish you luck !! It’s very rough
