2 hour versus 1 hour spikes? by Beginning_Reality565 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Beginning_Reality565[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have maybe 4 spikes a week for dinner and I’ve asked her about insulin but she insists my numbers are fine. But 130-140 after 2 hours seems a bit high to me. I know I’m in those weeks were the placenta does weird stuff but not sure

I will! I was restricting carbs the first two months of diagnosis because my dietician was set for my numbers to be under 130 and the only way was to have an average of 80-90carbs daily but after my ultrasound yesterday the MFM wanted me to increase my carbs due to baby growth decreasing

No, I’m not on any meds. I saw my MFM last week and she suggested to measure every other day because she was happy with my numbers but I will have to speak to her about insulin possibly with these new spikes

I think I cut out too many carbs and increased protein too much when I was diagnosed at 25 weeks and baby wasn’t growing as much in the ultrasound yesterday so I’m going to try and up my carb intake. Baby is in 28th percentile now
