@Amber my numbers have been completely normal, if not a little low with a normal, not very diabetic friendly diet. So numbers I've been seeing yesterday and today have worried my a little. I know they aren't alarming figures yet but I feel like they are going to be. I'm hoping it's just a little blip, I got a vaccine 3 days ago so hoping it might just be my body responding to feeling unwell due it it 🤞🏻
Diagnosed at 16 weeks and barely saw a spike until 30 weeks and bam, suddenly high 😭
@Emma I've heard so many people say that. Really dreading the next few weeks ☹️
Currently 32 weeks and waiting to be put on insulin. I'm looking forward to it, a bit more breathing room from stress of high readings
They say the hardest time for managing the diabetes is between 32 and 36 weeks so I think it would be normal to see your numbers increase during this time even if you eat the same things. If you’re not already on a diabetes friendly diet and your numbers are increasing then that’s the place to start to avoid having to go on medication.
My blood sugar levels used to be normal all the time no matter what, to the point where I thought they misdiagnosed me. But around 31 weeks my sugar was high no matter what I ate! Apparently gestational diabetes is caused by your placenta, so the further along you get in pregnancy, the bigger your placenta gets, the worse the diabetes gets. Which is why GD isn’t normally diagnosed until the 3rd trimester. So it’s totally normal your numbers are getting higher! Talk to your doctor they might prescribe something to help lower them again 💕
