Today is my birthday and all I want to do is eat! At 34 weeks I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and I’ve been working my tail off to keep my numbers down. I haven’t had any cheat days since then and I’m now almost 38 weeks.

I’ve already ate cereal for breakfast and seen it spiked my numbers up bad but today I just want to have McDonald’s breakfast, drink some soda, have a burger and cheese fries and not feel guilty. Will one cheat day hurt me or the baby?

These are my numbers for the last 10 days. I’m not controlling my sugar by medicine or insulin. My doctor said he was so impressed by my numbers he wouldn’t put me on anything.
