I ended up on insulin as nothing I did diet wise helped. My dose has been increased and I'm only just getting reasonable readings it might be what u need tbh x

Hi Destiny, so sorry your havin such a hard time x I think the only person who can tell you if you need to go on insulin is your diabetic nurse/doctor really. Is it all carbs/sugars that are making your levels rise? My dietician told me that often the GD will get worse as the pregnancy progresses, i.e. baby gets bigger! So foods that you were fine with one week may, a couple of weeks later make your levels shoot up! So maybe that's the reason why they have suddenly gone haywire?

Good luck with your appointment tomorrow hun, and remember if you do have to go on insulin it's not gonna be the end of the world, and it won't be for long, less than 9 weeks to go now! x x x
