Strange numbers past couple days.

So I’ve was diagnosed with GD at 18 weeks! I’ve struggled with numbers even though I was following the diet and was exercising until recently. Seems like for the past three months every two weeks my insulin (long lasting) needed to be increased just a little. Yesterday and today I’ve had very low numbers for me, not ever above 100, I even had a pasta tonight seeing if my numbers would go up and I tested an hour later and I was only at 91? Why is it all of a sudden really low? My fasting numbers in the morning are usually not below 90 so I’m a bit surprised that after pasta I’m 91. I’m 37 weeks so not much further. My clinic isn’t open until Wednesday so I won’t be able to talk to them until them. Has this ever happened to anyone?

My dr said at 37 weeks is when many women have a drop in hormones and their GD improve

Thanks, since then they’ve been low for me but still within normal but not crazy numbers like in the 50’s thankfully.

Mine got lower towards the end of my last pregnancy.

I just read your follow up comment. I would absolutely decrease your long acting considering you had a sugar in the 50s.

Yes! Once you reach a certain gestation you’re insulin resistance becomes much better. In fact my appointment with the diabetic nurse was Friday and we just went over this phenomenon. Keep an eye on your BGd and decrease your long acting insulin if you need to.

Hopefully that’s it. I went on to go down to 53??? I got shaky and my lips started tingling. It was awful. I ate some Christmas cookies and it got better thankfully. That’s the first time I’ve ever been hypoglycemic. My numbers were normal this morning. So maybe it was a weird one off? Hormones do some crazy things to us.

I read that towards the end of the pregnancy, when labor is close, your GD gets “better”.
