Newly diagnosed. Skeptical. Am I crazy?

Question

I’ve been checking my glucose 4x daily for 4 days and so far everything is well within normal ranges. Sometimes I try to adhere strictly to the diet plan they gave me and other times I don’t. I don’t think I have GD. 
Has anyone else has experienced this?

Answer

I felt the same way. I was diagnosed at 28 weeks and I’m 38 weeks now. Most days my numbers are great. They have been creeping up a little as my pregnancy has progressed, but as long as I balance any carbs I have with enough protein and veggies, I’m totally fine. The diagnosis is a good excuse to be mindful of what you’re eating for sure, even though it’s frustrating to have a little human inside of you craving ice cream and sweets 🙈 Stick with the diet, and you’ll quickly figure out what you can eat and what you should stay away from. I’m still skeptical that I really have it too, but you do what you gotta do for baby.

Answer

This was me at first when I was diagnosed at 28 weeks, the high risk doctor didn't believe I had it either. Then my numbers started to get out of whack as the pregnancy progressed. I'm still diet controlled though so we will see.

Answer

Also be aware different doctors use different normal ranges. What have your blood sugars been like?
