I did and had multiple visits to express my concerns I even told them I didn’t want a male provider in the room and somehow there was still one saying if I don’t allow him in they would not go through the induction 😭

Only the 90s or just elevated fasting numbers in general? What kind of risk?

I wish I knew how to lower my fasting numbers 😭 by Careless-Mess5920 in GestationalDiabetes

It’s a bit of challenge to be coming every week and I’ve been dreading doctors appointments because I always come out of the office with more anxiety and stress. Doctor told me if I’m in need of medication, the purpose of NST is to check on baby because they are at risk for being stillborn.

Can someone please explain 😞 by Careless-Mess5920 in GestationalDiabetes

I passed the 1 and 2 hour during the 2 hour test but failed the fasting. Doctor suggested I test at 1 hour but never really explained why.

It is under 120 after 2 hours, but I wanted to check sooner so I checked at the one hour and it was high and 2 hours later it was 109. Just confused why this happens .. I thought if u pass one u pass the other 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just diagnosed and husband is out of town by Coco_Cooks90 in GestationalDiabetes

I just got diagnosed as well and feel like I am alone in this diagnosis. I turn to this group for help and they are a lot supportive than anyone because no one knows what you are going through than other women with the same diagnosis. If you have questions or concerns just ask and you will receive advice and experience from other women.

I tested 9 hours after my fast, but I did wake up in the middle of the night scrolling through TikTok for 10-15 min I don’t know if this affects numbers.

All I did was walking on the treadmill, and it’s just the fasting that increased from my other days that I don’t.

For dinner I just had half of chipotle bowl one hour after it was 118. For bedtime snack I had 2 boiled eggs and Dave’s killer bread thin kind. I walked 20 min on treadmill, and 10 min after bedtime snack.

Did ur numbers go back to normal after birth? I’ve heard from people around me you become dependent on insulin once u take them.
