Had my baby Dec 3rd due to GD and my glucose levels being shit as well as extreme itching from PUPPS. He was 36/37 weeks but almost 8lbs.

Poor baby suffered from low blood sugar but so far it looks to have regulated. And thankfully it seems I am back to “normal” readings. Yesterday with an 8 hour fasting reading from the last I ate to when I woke up it was 94 and that was without any insulin, pills, etc (I was taking 2 types of insulin and 1 pill). This morning I am 79!!!!! That’s after 1 full day of no insulin or pills at all as well as eating bread, chocolate, (not going too crazy) and potatoes all day. Oh how I missed those carbs.

I hope my levels stay this way. I wanted to give hope to those going though GD. I can only advise to try your best with the diet, it’s worth it in the end.
