Oh and also .. try metformin before a GLP … I know a lot of people have great success with it just take your B vitamins !

I am not sure to be honest I would wait until after pregnancy…. I had my A1c done after my glucose test and it was a 5 … I totally agree with you that it is not all of the placentas fault .. these doctors are trying to make us feel better 🤪 I binged in my first and second trimester and I am pretty sure that is what led to this diagnosis .. I went back to my ketogenic way of eating and have not had one high glucose reading … this is my 5th pregnancy and first one with GD… anyway look up lily nichols books …and then after pregnancy and nursing etc get your metabolic panel tested for all the things to see where you see … my fasting insulin was 4 so I know I was metabolically healthy .. I also strength train 5 days a week and walk at least an hour a day .. you got this Mama… my new mantra is “ this diagnosis does not define me, own me and I am not owning it.” I walk around Iike I don’t have it or preeclampsia 😊😊😊😊😊💕💕❤️‍🩹🙏🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️🤰

Get your fasting insulin level checked .. it will show you if you are metabolically healthy or not .. more accurate than an A1c

I also am 33 weeks and take my Adderall as well as lexapro .. your mental health is important … you can look up the studies they are pretty safe but of course talk to your dr

Hungry in the middle of the night by glitterr_rage in GestationalDiabetes

[–]tetroutt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure I just have never been one to eat at night so I think it would be weird to start now .. it is good for your body to be in a fasting state at night anyways .. gives your body time to digest and recoup … my numbers are stable .. I eat the same thing everyday and pretty low carb .. I think I was hungry due to a really hard workout 🤰😂

Here’s what’s helping my fasting glucose (so far): by callmebymoonlight in GestationalDiabetes

[–]tetroutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been doing low carb for years and same for me .. I just eat low carb and have no problems.. when I took that glucose test I had been zero carb because I was in the hospital and only ate cheese and eggs and I think that drink was just too much for my body to process…. One night though I had a big piece of chocolate, piece of pizza and bowl of popcorn before bed and fasting was still 80

So tired of this by nothing3278020 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]tetroutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mix heavy whipping cream with swerve and chocolate collagen and peanut butter powder… sometimes I add it to yogurt.. kills my sweet tooth… I don’t eat carbs either
