Any moms with gestational diabetes: i tested my blood one hour after lunch, and it was 221... should i be worried and call my doctor ? I haven’t ever had blood sugar over 145 yet since i started testing ... i just want to know if baby and i will be ok or if i should call ?
@mckenna.mccue22, you may have dropped it too much. Do you have OJ? If you do drink a little bit relax for 15 minutes and then test your levels. Do this until your levels go back to “normal” my ob doesn’t like it to drop so low. She prefers when I stay between a 70-85 when not eating. And when you drink OJ it’s literally only a little. Imagine you’re taking a shot of vodka that’s how much you want to drink. And make sure you test 15 minutes after you drink it. If it doesn’t make you feel better drink a little more wait 15 minutes and test again.
Omg i cleaned most of my house and then now just checked again my blood sugar and it dropped to 67 is that bad ??? @raqueliiosiis, @amouryaya09, I’m also shaking badly
@mckenna.mccue22, no worries. I eat two string cheeses before bed too and a huge glass of water so I don’t spike at night. Try to stay moving for 30 minutes and then retest! Good luck!
@raqueliiosiis, thank you so much! I think it’s helping i started walking around and cleaning and ate cheese and it’s down to 207 now
@amouryaya09,
thAnk you so much. I walked around my apartment and started cleaning and ate string cheese and it’s gone down to 207 so it’s helping ❤️❤️❤️
@mckenna.mccue22, I understand! An alternative could be some small exercises or bounce on a yoga ball. Try and drink lots of water.
@mckenna.mccue22, walk inside your house. That’s what my ob said and eat some kind of protein. Protein takes longer for your body to break down so it helps lower blood sugar.
Ok, it’s so hard to walk because i have so much pressure with her head down there lol ugh and it’s hot out ☹️ @raqueliiosiis, @amouryaya09,
What the PP said I have GD. Go take a walk my Ob said to walk for 30 minutes and then retest again. Don’t drink any juices either drink plain water and go walk. What I do when I spike is eat a string cheese and drink two cups of water and go walking
Everything she said! Have a small piece of candy too if the oj doesn’t do the trick! Sit down and get yourself together.
