This pregnancy and my last I had GD and I was never put on insulin. Just had to keep track of my lvls and what I ate.
My levels were highly elevated in the morning. I was told to eat protein before bed — what worked for me is yogurt (10g of protein) and apples with peanut butter. I had to eat both for blood sugar to come out regular in the AM
My last pregnancy, I had gestational diabetes. They started me on a pill called metformin. Then I had insulin, but the night I took it, I went into labor. Good luck
I’m expected to start soon. I’m currently wearing a blood sugar sensor and doing morning finger pricks. I did IVF so thought I was done with needles, but no such luck.
