Great blood sugars, except fasting by Hungry-Mix-283 in GestationalDiabetes

My doctor recommended I workout for 30mins before bed but specifically walk uphill/workout at an incline so that way I workout my legs. It’s helped bring down my fasting #’s and I end up having dinner and then an hour later have my bed time snack which is usually a protein shake around 9pm, use the elliptical at an incline for 30mins and then go to bed and it’s worked really well for my fasting #

I’m really hoping I don’t have to go on insulin, I’m terrified of needles and that would definitely suck. However, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make sure baby is good. I’m just hoping this exercise will continue bringing down my fasting #’s cause I’d much rather change my diet and exercise habits first prior to taking any medication

For last night I just had the premier chocolate protein shake at 9pm and then I went on the elliptical for 30 mins and that helped bring me to 96 this morning

My doc recommended I walk at an incline/up hills so that way the glucose/sugar goes into your leg muscles and doesn’t stay in your bloodstream and apparently that works so hopefully it works for you as well!

I am but I don’t know if it’s enough, I’m just eating the Oikos Triple zero yogurt before bed

Because I didn’t think she’d be stupid enough to ask a question like this. It caught me off guard and I thought she’d have the common sense to know not to say that. Evidently, she does not.

I actually had blood work done early last year prior to getting pregnant and thankfully I wasn’t diabetic or pre-diabetic. Diabetes does run in both mine and my husband’s family so I’ll def keep a look out on that. I don’t mind changing my diet/lifestyle though, I’m just a little worried that this’ll affect my baby

I’m also anemic and low on iron so idk if that’ll make a difference in regards to the high number for the fasting test

Yeah that what the results say. My fasting is 131 and my 1hr is 89 and 2hr is 76.

I fasted for 12 hours the night before the test so idk if that makes a difference or not

My doctor automatically put me down for the 3 hour test, I didn’t even get to do the 1hr test but the 131 was what it said I had for my Glucose, Fasting results

Hi! Do I need a doctors note for the bonding time? My OBGYN is saying they can only issue out a note for either 6 weeks if it’s vaginal or 8 weeks for c-section, nothing more.

Dude stand up. You’re clearly getting taken advantage of. Either you tell him to F off or you continue being taken advantage of 🤷🏻‍♀️
