Pro tip from a fellow GD mom: try a protein milkshake before bed to help your fasting sugar! It’s help the sweet treat craving while balancing your sugar overnight. I did 1 cup fairlife milk, 1 cup ice, and 1 scoop of Optimum Nutrition whey protein powder. Use a blender and it’ll be the consistency of a frappe. I used the vanilla powder and when I wanted something different, I’d add a sugar free syrup to change up the flavor. This trick single-handedly saved me from needing insulin!

Try drinking plenty of water while waiting during your 2 hours! Don’t chug it, but sip though out the day. It helps mange my sugars because it helps flush your system faster! You’re doing great though, it’s mentally draining! 💛

I had GD, I always felt like when I got a high reading that MFM was going to shame me. My midwife told me that my goal truly should be 80/20 and to not be too too restrictive. It made me feel a lot better.

As a type I diabetic (our sons are around the same age!) the only bad blood sugar number is the one you don’t know ! It’s all just data! ❤️❤️

I had gestational diabetes and a protein shake or bar before bed always helped my fasting. If I ever felt like my meal was going to make me spike I would try to exercise for 10-15 minutes even if I was just running around cleaning the house lol

My fasting number was 120 today… it deft set the mood for the day.. even when I eat “right” it’s never good for me with my fasting… it’s so HARD

Susana Carrion :
hey did you lower the strength on the lancets? sounds like it's hitting strong. I know it sounds silly but that's probably why it hurts. good luck!

Sour dough bread is the best! It doesn’t spike your blood sugar like most breads!

Blood sugars take some time to stabilize when dieting so don’t stress so much about the first couple days! Obviously keep dieting like you are supposed to but don’t beat yourself up about it girl! GD just doesn’t make sense sometimes either… I could get away with eating a cookie or a slice of cake as a snack every once in a while without spiking but I absolutely could NEVER have fruit. No matter the amount or the kind of fruit I’d always spike no matter what. GD isn’t always about being “healthy” it just doesn’t make sense

Hi! I’ve been through GD with both my babies too, just birthed #2 a few weeks ago. I feel alllll of this, especially the spirals, the guilt of not doing better, etc. but you got this. I’m eating an extra cookie for you tonight ❤️remember… eat a good amount of protein first and everything else after! Always works!!

Ugh testing/tracking my sugars was my least favorite part of pregnancy. I just wanted to eat like a normal person 😭
