So far my numbers are pretty much below 150 ( even with occasional bouts of carb loading) and I am at 28 weeks now. I am hoping that they stay that way and don't get any worse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-gestational-diabetes-what-were-your-daily-blood-glucose-numbers#post-1346745 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 15:20:20 +0000 lilyann 1346745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: For sure! I think it's great that you are being proactive about it now! I should probably start too :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-gestational-diabetes-what-were-your-daily-blood-glucose-numbers#post-1346654 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 14:57:13 +0000 HLK208 1346654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyann: that's interesting, I'm only 13.5 weeks so it might get worse but I assume as long as my numbers are decent, I can just walk more and do prenatal yoga to keep it down. That's what helped the first time! I'm glad I opted out of doing the 3 hour...it would be disappointing to have to do another 3 hour after 20 weeks if I passed it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-gestational-diabetes-what-were-your-daily-blood-glucose-numbers#post-1346627 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 14:52:31 +0000 lilyann 1346627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: How many weeks are you now? I had GD with my first and controlled it with exercise and low carb/low sugar diet. I had numbers similar to @avivoca: </p> <p>Reason I ask how far along you are, my doc mentioned not testing me for GD until after 20 weeks. He said this is when GD tends to flare but I haven't researched it much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-gestational-diabetes-what-were-your-daily-blood-glucose-numbers#post-1346592 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 14:47:38 +0000 Sapphiresun 1346592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had GD, but I think we use a different measurement here, because a "good" range before eating was 3.7-5.5 and after could be up to 7.3. I stayed in range, but was on injectible insulin... so not the best indicator. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-gestational-diabetes-what-were-your-daily-blood-glucose-numbers#post-1346364 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 14:04:30 +0000 lilteacherbee 1346364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, mine were about the same as @avivoca. Mine was controlled with diet and I rarely had numbers above 120. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-gestational-diabetes-what-were-your-daily-blood-glucose-numbers#post-1346330 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:57:50 +0000 avivoca 1346330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had gestational diabetes that was controlled through diet. My daily numbers ranged anywhere from 78-89 fasting and after meals could be anywhere from 78-118 two hours after meals depending on what I ate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-gestational-diabetes-what-were-your-daily-blood-glucose-numbers#post-1346283 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:50:14 +0000 HLK208 1346283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What were your daily numbers like (in the morning and 2 hours after meals)? </p> <p>I had to do the GD test early this pregnancy because I had it with my first (not my second). I passed at 138 but 140 is the end of the normal range. They want me to do a three hour test to make sure I don't have GD but I have Hyperemesis so I get sick very easily and I know the three hour test isn't doable.</p> <p>I've been taking my blood sugar at home, eating normally (actually a pretty carb filled diet since it helps with the Hyperemesis) and I stay around 80 which is much lower than when I was pregnant with my first (I ate very healthy and my numbers were still 100-120 back then). I'm thinking I don't have GD? I'm curious to know other people's numbers. </p>
