Snacks for better fasting numbers?

Question

Hi ladies,

My glucose numbers throughout the day are fine, but every mornin I wake up with high fasting numbers. I have 4 days to get this under control with diet before I try medication. What before bed snacks have worked for you to keep your fasting number down?

Answer

I did some research and need up eating nuts, dried fruit and cheese before I went to bed. Fasting numbers ended up being in the 80s most mornings. This was my third pregnancy with GD and my first that I didn't need medication.

Answer

I did Greek yogurt and that seemed to help

Answer

Whole wheat toast and peanut butter! I also noticed though when my fasting numbers were high it was because I was sleeping longer hours and going much longer between meals/snacks. My midwives said that I may need to get up at night and have a small snack to keep my sugars from plummeting while I'm asleep, so they don't go WAY up to help me wake up in the mornings.

Answer

I found that if I waited 12 hours between night snack and fasting my
Numbers were lower.
