I had to take a pill at night before going to sleep because none of the trucks worked for me. Mine was similar to yours, and it was a struggle to get it low enough but not too low - I think I ended up taking like half a pill of the lowest dose? I wouldn't think you'd need insulin with your number being so close to the limit.

@ladybee: I know it's stressful! But there is only so much you can do. I used to get so upset because I would eat perfectly and still get high numbers.

If you have to go on insulin it'll be ok!

@ladybee: I didn't need to take insulin. My numbers would have a wacky number here or there but were generally ok. However, I'm really not squeamish about needles and my best friend is a type one diabetic so I've been around insuling injections half my life.

I just know insulin may be a possibility for me in my next pregnancy. There is only so much we can control with diet when our body has other plans.

@ladybee: Insulin didn't hurt for me! The hardest part was mentally getting past having to stick a needle in my side. I barely felt it.

Gosh the fasting number was always the hardest for me!

When I found out I had GD at 10 weeks for the first few weeks my numbers were like you slightly above 90 and my doc wanted me under 90.

It was really stressing me out!

After I accepted that taking meds were okay my number got a lot better. I think the stress was causing my high number.

Also I ate a really high carb thing in bed before I went to sleep. Like half a cookie or half a slice of pound cake. That worked for me the best near the end of my pregnancy.
