  • alilbouldingalilboulding
    Is that caused by anything? Sorry to hear tho! Can you do sugar free sweets?
  • honeybunnyhoneybunny

    @finallypreggo- I'm so sorry to hear that:( but look at the bright side, you're almost there.

    It does suck, but try doing it for your whole pregnancy! I have Type II diabetes, so I have been on a special "diet" since conception! I have about 8 weeks left, so we are almost done!!!

    @alilboulding I think its when ur pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin therefore it doesn't breakdown the sugar as it should so it gives u high blood sugar levels but hopefully it will go away once baby is born :) i do buy sugar free sweets but they're not the same :/ but they're better than nothing :)

    @finallypreggo Yeah I know, Im hving one slice of brown bread wid bits in it (wholemeal) wid one egg or just butter n half or even less cup of milk in the morning n after 3 or so hrs one very small piece of fruit .... U hv noticed for me that if u eat very less sugar levels behave in much better way but idk they tend to go up anyway after evening meas or maybe I eat abit more at tht time coz im TOO HUNGRY...:(

    @finallypreggo- I imagine the closer you get to your dd the longer the days go by. I've been doing good but I am really looking forward to Sept when I finally get to go on maternity leave
  • honeybunnyhoneybunny
    @finallypreggo good luck to you as well!

    yea it sucks.. im take shots before meals and before bed so I can eat what I want at meals as long as I take enough insulin but I like eating smalls meals several times a day but cant do it with this shit :(

    They told me I had GD too!! They gave me a meter to test for my levels & every since that day I been eating anything I want & check my levels a hr later & they r normal. They are never well over 100 really.... so I continue to eat what I want. I test my sugar 5xs a day. They don't seem to go up

    I had gestational diabetes too but on the plus side it was such a drastic change to my diet that I only gained 13 lbs my whole pregnancy, I lost all the weight by the time I left the hospital (4 days later), and 2 wks post pardum I am a pant size smaller than when I got pregnant!! Everyone who sees me is amazed I've just had a baby. I have actually stuck (pretty closely) to the moderated carb diet. Also you can find some popsicles. And flavor ices that are lower carb (like 5-7 carbs per serving). I snacked on turkey bacon all the time

    @finallypreggo I am having a boy. I am due 9/7 but being induced 9/2. I check my sugar about 10-12 times a day but I checked it about 6 times a day before pregnancy. It sucks but oh well. I get lots of ultrasounds and I don't have to do the glucose tolerance test so I am ok with that! Lol
