Gestational diabetes

Il

Idk if any of you have read my previous post. Basically I was diagnosed with GD because when I took my glucose test my fasting blood sugar was at 100 cut off was 90-92. I had previously said I would retake it again, but when I saw my dr yesterday she said it’s not going to make a difference. So I got set up with a monitor and today started my day of pricking my fingers. :(

I am a little devastated and I have cried I’m so hard on myself. But in a way I am ok because it just makes me be on an eating schedule and i know I will be doing this to keeps my baby safe. I didn’t get a chart with levels that i need to be at or anything. I was just told to check after every meal and obviously fasting when I wake up. I found this online yesterday

Is this an accurate chart? I have not seen the dietician yet so I’m just wondering what your dr have said. This morning my fasting level was at 85 mg/dL according to this chart I’m good. :) also they didn’t really give me a meal plan just kind of foods to avoid and foods that are fine.

What makes your levels spike?
