Mom that use insulin for gestational diabetes...

Yes you can drink water. But that’s weird. I take two types of insulin the long lasting and the fast acting. I was told to take it first thing in the morning before breakfast and check my levels once I got up. So in my case I check at 6-630 and I take my insulin at 8am then I’ll eat breakfast. Are you taking insulin at night? I take one shot in the morning with both mixed and then one at night before dinner also mixed. My morning numbers are usually 74-88

I also eat string cheese at night like 3 pieces my dr says eating protein before going to bed so your body has that to process and you wont spike during the night.

@raqueliiosiis, I may have to try this!

I’m on fast and slow acting in the morning and at night. It usually depends on what I eat what my levels are. What are your morning numbers?

@raqueliiosiis, she told me to only take it at night because it’s sugar levels are rising while I sleep .. she wants it that when I wake up it’s under 90 and it’s still 110 and in the afternoon and throughout the day under 140 and it’s always under 120 just issue when I wake up.. they had me stop taking metformin and now I use insulin pen

@fishinamanda, at 6am they are anywhere’s between 109 and 116 but when I check it last at 8:30-9pm they are 96-112 and then an hour later I take the insulin for bed. She said it’s okay even if I don’t go to bed until 11-12

@joannekk88, try eating some string cheese before bed. That’s how I manage mine. 140 is kind of high they’ll want you under 120 usually

@fishinamanda, try it and let me know if it works for you I swear the more cheese I eat the lower my numbers are lol. I love cheese now

@raqueliiosiis, I don’t like cheese but I can eat some nuts or something for protein lol

@fishinamanda, lol I hate anything milk but you know what I figured I’d take cheese over insulin any day lol

@raqueliiosiis, you’re an amazing women
