GD.. is 116 high blood sugar after eating dinner?

Question

So supposedly o have GD because I failed my 3 hour by 2 points and honestly I haven’t been eating healthy because it’s so hard but anyways I’ve been eating really unhealthy so I check my sugar and writing  it down. I ate a slice, zepolis and soda for dinner (I know I shouldn’t but I was craving it) so I checked my sugar after an hour and it’s 116. My sugar since I started checking has been from 100-108 after 2 hours of eating and fasting has been from 60-90.. is this normal?

Answer

You need to start eat healthy for your baby. You don’t “supposedly” have it, you have it because you failed the test. Even if it was just by 2 points. Constantly having high blood sugar and not eating the correct diet can lead to complications, a big baby which would result in an emergency c-section, or even stillbirth.
What ranges did your nutritionist and doctor tell you to stay within?

Answer

For 2 hours has to be lower then 117. One hour has to be lower then 140 but you should of been taught all this from your doctor and Nutritionist. Make sure you follow it.

Answer

Yes, that’s normal.
I had GD and my doctor said anything under 120 is good.
Eating for GD is easy tho. Don’t eat as many carbs, sub all pasta with bean or other veggie noodles/pasta. Stop eating out and make food at home. A lot of couscous, lean meat, poultry and salmon are amazing. 2% milk. All that stuff.
I got on Lifesum app and paid premium while I was pregnant, it helped track everything and you can set your own % of protein, carbs, etc.

Answer

Did they give you a guideline of what your levels should be after 1 hour after eating, 2 hours after eating, and fasting?

Answer

Yes that's normal. Doesn't mean you don't have GD. I have GD for the 2nd time and the first time I had it I really didn't have to alter my diet and my levels were always within range. I have to check 1 hour after my first bite of food and be under 140. I think 120 is the threshold for 2 hours after your first bite. Your fasting sound good also. My endocrinologist wants mine to average 85. As long as you aren't above 95 or hovering close to 95 consistently your fastings are good.
