35 Weeks & Just Now doing This? HELP!

Question

Okay so apparently they assume I have GD, and I have to check my sugar 6 times a day... Baby is fine and on track no extra weight put on.

Okay so what should my sugar be in the range of, every time I check it’s around 96-99 had it up to 117 that’s the most... im not sure if that’s normal or not.

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I’ve never had any of this happen to me. So I’m really confused my dr well my (high risk dr) I was high risk with all my kids has nothing to do with my sugar... kinda just threw this at me and assumed I knew what to do.. my regular dr didn’t even call in the kit for me to test they were like 2 of your test was abnormal soooo we are gonna basically say you have GD..

I tried looking online to see if I could find a chart and nothing helped.. so any help would be appreciated.

ALSO; Side note what’s a good food to eat in the mornings that would go good with my diet they gave me?

Answer

You can eat up to 30 grams of carbs for small meals and up to 45 grams of carbs for larger meals. Oatmeal is great. So is greek yogurt. Sausage and bacon provide protein. Make sure you eat protein at every meal and lots of water! Juice is a big no since the carbs are outrageous.

Answer

My doc office said under 90 for fasting and under 120 2 hrs after meals

Answer

I was also dx with GD and I’m 21wks right now, I’m hating it, totally sucks and I’m so worried about the baby! 
I’ve been told and what I’m seeing is under 95 fasting, under 140 post 1hr and under 120 post 2hrs 
I’m also struggling with morning options!  I’m getting super tired of eggs! Lmk what else you find!

Answer

You want to be under 100 first thing in the morning and under 140 1 hour after meals.

Answer

They basically want you eating every few hours. Proteins are any meat, eggs, peanut butter and nuts, cheese... you can eat as much of this stuff as you want. You need to portion control your carbs throughout the day. Whole wheat carbs are better. Breakfast 30g of carbs, snack 30g, lunch 45g, snack 30g, dinner 45g, snack 30g. It's actually a lot of carbs, way more than I had been eating- but they key is keeping your carb intake consistent throughout the day. Obv no sugars, no complex carbs, cereal, stuff like that.
