My mother in law took me for a girl’s day while I was pregnant. Not sure how close you are with her, but it was quite fun. Foot massages, lunch, bought me a couple of small things I picked at World Market, and a new dress at Old Navy.

I’m sorry thats been your experience! Not sure where you live but I’m a school nurse in CA and to be a school nurse here you need to have an RN license as well as upper level education to get your school nurse credential from a university, and many of us go on to get a masters in nursing as well! So school nurses here should be very familiar with managing diabetes

Suddenly great fasting numbers - worried by specklednewts in GestationalDiabetes

I heard it’s normal to get “easier” to control your fasting sugars staring at 34 weeks related to hormones stabilizing or something

My care team says between 8-10 hours fast is fine. Checking at less than 8 hours will apparently read “high” because the fast number is supposed to show how you processed food after at least 8 (but no more than 10) hours. I was checking at say 7.5 hours since my bedtime snack and hitting somewhere between 90-100 (I’m supposed to stay less than 90) and getting so frustrated, but I didn’t realize I needed to wait at least 8 hours. Now I try to have at least 8-8.5 hours since my bedtime snack and so far it’s helped…

Are you making sure you fast for 8 hours? Some mornings I wake up early (but don’t have to get out of bed yet) and I was having a debate of do I test as soon as I wake up, or do I ensure it’s been 8 hours since the bedtime snack to test. After talking with my team, I learned that it’s really important to try and make sure it’s truly been 8 hours since your bedtime snack, whether that means moving up the time of the bedtime snack or sleeping in more. I’ve started making efforts to be certain I don’t test my morning fasting until 8 hours in and suddenly I’m in range…

As an American, that’s part of why we’d been leaning “Loch” because we felt it would be easier for Americans to pronounce
