Gestational diabetes, now on 10 units before bed, levels are higher than ever now!?
I have been to the nutritionist, and of course my OB, I am on a strict dieting plan to watch my carb intake… i look at every label. BUT now since I have been on insulin my numbers are worse and out of control, one nite all i had for dinner is a turkey wrap (tomato wrap), and my numbers were at 194, it was crazy! Its like the better I eat and more insulin I take the worse my numbers are. Im starting to stress cause I cant control it… at all! not with food, not with insulin. I think its best if my OB put me on insulin before every meal, just to get this straight. HELP!?
well from experience every person is different and any little thing that may seem healthy to one person is not for another my friend can eat tapioca pudding and it keeps her sugar in the 400s all day but if she eat choclate pudding it doesn’t rise over 180? The insulin levels are also tricky and you could be taking the wrong kind of insulin you should really be consulting your doctor about what its doing to you stress also plays a big role in high sugars! i work in a hospital and when people are sick and stressed and there bodies are going haywire (pregnancy is perfect for that) it can take a while for your blood sugar to hit its normal ranges like for example watching your diet and its always between 150-200 give it some time and like i said be sure to consult your doctor

Hi.. I’m really sorry that I can’t help.. You should talk to your doctor about it. It’s pretty serious…
I was actually wondering if you could help me.. I’m pretty scared I could have gestational diabetes, also. Did you have an symptoms of it or did you just find out from the glucose test? I’m taking the test on Tuesday, but I want to try to avoid certain foods if I am having symptoms. (You can email me at alholmes3404@yahoo.com or just add details to answer this. Please do.. I ask on here and no one answers. Thanks.)

i.ve had gestational diabetes with each time i was pregnant which was twice,you really have to watch what you eat and take walks after dinner, testt your sugar before you eat breakfast,if you have not given your dr your recorded numbers do so they may have to adjust your insulin.or you seeing a high risk doctor,if not your ob needs to refer you to one
