Gestational Diabetes?
i will be eight months pregnant this friday and everything is going perfectly fine, except for my gestational diabetes. i can't keep it controlled to save my life, and it's not like i'm not trying. i went for my first visit with the diabetes dietician, which was just a meeting to explain gestional diabetes, precautionary measures, etc. i go for my second meeting with the actual nutritionist monday to determine whether or not diet alone is controlling it, or if i need to be put on insulin, which obviously i will have to be. i've been following the sheet that the dietician gave with the the food "do's and don'ts" and i also cut out all sweets and drink only water, with that being said, my blood sugar levels remain high. i have to check my sugar four times a day...in the morning before i eat anything, and then after every meal. i eat my snacks in between meals as well, as i am supposed to. my sugar seems to be fine when i test it first thing in the morning, it's supposed to be between 60-95, and mine normally runs 70-100. but, for some reason after that, it goes up and stays up. if i check it one hour after i eat, it's supposed <140 and if i wait two hours, it's supposed to be <120, well after two hours mine stays between 135-150. Saturday, it even went as high as 215, and it steadily went down after it spiked. beings that it was so high, i called the dr on call and was told that they would call me back shortly. well, that was a 4:30pm on Saturday...and at 10:30am Monday morning, they have yet to call me back...i thought this was a serious matter, but obviously i was wrong. i know i won't know exactly what to do as far as controlling it until i go and see the nutritionist, but i was just curious as to if anybody else had had this problem and could give me a little advice/peace of mind until i go. thanks so much!
