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?

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.

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.

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

Mine got lower towards the end of my last pregnancy.

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

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

I have a low tolerance of pain so I’m screwed either way 😂 but I am going to get through a natural birth no matter what!

I have a low tolerance of pain so I’m screwed either way 😂 but I am going to get through a natural birth no matter what! Quick question: Are the contractions or pushing the most painful? I’ve felt contractions with my first and omg. But I didn’t experience the pushing. He was way to tiny.

Why am I gaining weight?

How is it possible that I’ve gained weight? Maybe because I have my period? I don’t know but I’ve been doing so good these past couple of weeks and I know I can’t expect a crazy change in loss but I didn’t expect to step on the scale at the doctors and weigh more 😩

I bit the bulletin and bought a few bikini tops. I haven’t worn a bikini top since before having kids but I’m doing it…

I bit the bulletin and bought a few bikini tops. I haven’t worn a bikini top since before having kids but I’m doing it this year. I’ve been working so hard on myself with working out and eating better. I’m also just feeling more comfortable in my own skin. I have some saggy skin and stretch marks but ya know what I’ve seen worse at the beach haha. I’m proud of myself for this!! I’m owning my belly this summer!!! F it ya know?

So since I’m getting my results next week I wanna take a poll am I having a boy or a girl 💝💙
