Glucose levels improving ?

Question

I’m 40w+4 and have my gestational diabetes completely diet controlled.
I’ve always had a few readings that were pushing the limit but nothing crazy (and nothing that a quick walk and glass of water didn’t fix) 
but over the last week my glucose readings are suddenly flawless ??? I’m eating the same as I was two weeks ago —I’m a creature of habit— but my numbers are way lower than usual. Is it a thing for blood sugar / GD to improve at the end of pregnancy??

Answer

Mine did! My numbers we’re crazy all over the place even with a strict diet, metformin and insulin. I was to the point they were increasing my insulin weekly because my fasting numbers just wouldn’t budge then about 2 weeks before I delivered my numbers were perfect.

Answer

I’m wondering the same thing!!! I’m 38.5 and my numbers are excellent even with cheating! Can this happen?

Answer

I don’t think it’s a thing for them to regulate at the end of pregnancy, but your body just might be getting more regulated. I’ve had weeks where i have perfect numbers and then ones where they are weird and I eat the same things almost daily LOL.

Answer

Do you do colostrum harvesting? My levels are much lover now when I started it.

Answer

My nutritionist said sugar levels peak at 36 weeks and start decreasing from there. My numbers have been so much better since then so per nutritionist I’ve started decreasing the amount of insulin i take at every meal.

Answer

This is based off of nothing, and absolutely nothing to back it up. But since GD is caused by the placenta, and you’re so late in your pregnancy, could the placenta be failing and causing your levels to improve? If it were me, I would call my doctor immediately because if that’s the case baby needs to be out right now. If your doctor shrugs it off, please feel free to comment later that I’m an alarmist idiot.
