Hello all,

I'm a second time GD mom; however, this time around I am struggling with my fasting numbers. I'm supposed to be below 95, and that rarely happens. The highest I've been is 109 ( and that was after having a bowl of ice cream before bed).

My after meal numbers are very much within range, 80s-100. Yesterday I had my 34 week ultrasound and baby boy is measuring in the 46th percentile and his measured estimated due date is the due date set for me at the beginning of my pregnancy, March 9th. The ultrasound tech said he is measuring perfectly. I know with GD the concern is partly in birth size so I am not sure if my higher fasting numbers are having a major impact on anything.

Any GD mom's struggle with the fasting number? How long do you fast for? How soon after waking do you test? What has worked for you?

I see my doctor tomorrow and will obviously discuss further with her, but my numbers have been like this since the beginning of my testing and have been told my numbers are the least diabetic numbers she has seen, so I don't think she is worried about my slightly elevated fasting numbers.

Thanks in advance to any and all who reply!
