I control my GD through diet alone, but the last 2 days, I've had a LOT of levels that are under 100 after a meal. Today, they just keep going down. I've stuffed myself today -- yet I've had to have some juice 3 times already. Anyone have any experience with this? Should I call my Doc?
 
hi, I do not have GD, but i am hypoglycemic. If your levels are between 120 and 70 that is PERFECT! :thumbup: anything below 70 is not good :nope:
What exactly are your levels when they are below 100? Because if it isn't lower than 70, that is great news hun! :friends:
 
Thanks Guppy... you sound just like my doc! The targets they gave me for 1 hour after a meal were between 100 & 130. But, the Doc said yesterday that unless I'm under 70 not to worry. :)
 
No problem :thumbup:
I know I was miserable when I would get lows! I would get violent vomiting episodes and bad headaches (sometimes my symptoms would start at 74ish, but would it was very bad it would only be in the 50s :shock: lost so much weight cuz of it. I'm just now half a pound over my pre pregnancy weight and I'm 29 weeks! I passed the 16 week GD test but usually GD develops after 24 weeks (though not always). Have to get tested again this week, I sure hope it's still just hypoglycemia and not GD
 
Aww Guppy, you've been through a lot! Hopefully you won't have to deal with GD. I've lost weight myself, 10 pounds in 2 weeks, and it makes you worry I know. Let me know how your test comes out.
 
thanks dear.
Same for you! sounds like you've been there done that. its no fun :nope: thats for sure.
But the good news is, now that i know how to control it, ive been feeling great and i love being pregnant! just wish i would have known sooner.
Will update you once i find out :) i got tomorrow to the midwife.
 
Hey girl. No GD here :dance:
Just thought I'd update ya :)

Ps I finally gained weight! 4 pounds over pre pregnancy weight!
