Did anyone else get diagnosed with GD after failing 3hr that is confused by the diet plan? I failed fasting by 1pt, failed 1st hour and passed my 2nd and 3rd hour (by third hour I was down to 78). Basically they said my body is too slow in initial release of insulin, then over compensates by producing to much insulin.

So I saw counselor today and they’ve got me eating like quadruple the carbs that I’m used to and double the food. It seems very counter intuitive...???? I’m supposed to measure blood sugar an hour after eating meals, and I’ve had two high readings now (132 and 148). The diabetes counselor said it could take a few days for blood sugar to even out but the levels are freaking me out. Not to mention, the “diet” seems less healthy than before. Has anyone else gone through this?? (I’m going to try and get in touch with OB tomorrow).
