But I'm pretty well managed on Metformin and a lot of people seem to stay on it in pregnancy with good results. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-bees-ever-have-bad-bg-days-for-no-reason#post-889653 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:43:01 +0000 Crisark 889653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCB: No. I can't remember what the name was. I'd have to check my left over pill bottle for the name.<br /> We also had to adjust the dose of the pills more than once and my insulin was adjusted quite a few times. But, my OB said all was normal to have to do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-bees-ever-have-bad-bg-days-for-no-reason#post-889616 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 13:34:08 +0000 ShootingStar 889616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday and today I've been mostly back to normal. DH has been wonderful and insisting I take it easy in case I was getting sick. I was really worried about it getting totally out of control, but I'm feeling better about it now.</p> <p>@Pumpkinspice: Were you on Metformin? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-bees-ever-have-bad-bg-days-for-no-reason#post-887727 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 07:55:49 +0000 Crisark 887727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. My OB said that it was common to eat the same thing two days in a row and get different readings.<br /> Also said the farther you go in your pregnancy it can start to get a bit harder to control.<br /> I started at 11 weeks with watching my diet, by 20 weeks I was taking a pill daily, by 25 weeks or so I was on 4 shots of insulin a day.<br /> I was worried about the insulin but I have to be honest and say that I felt 100x better after starting insulin. It finally regulated me and all was well til delivery at 37 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-bees-ever-have-bad-bg-days-for-no-reason#post-887482 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 00:50:58 +0000 lemondrop 887482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not GD, but my husband is diabetic and his numbers shoot up when he gets sick, stressed, or doesn't get enough sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-bees-ever-have-bad-bg-days-for-no-reason#post-887467 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 00:07:15 +0000 tinyperson 887467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCB: I had a couple days like that too! Strange how there's so much variability... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-bees-ever-have-bad-bg-days-for-no-reason#post-887455 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 23:43:24 +0000 Sapphiresun 887455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, but low. I'm on 36 units of insulin.<br /> I had an identical breakfast and snack three days in a row and was working at my job similar amounts of sitting/walking around. First two days were perfect before lunch, then day three I felt really irritable and kind of sweaty. So, I tested at lunch and was 3.2 (I think that's 57 in how US seems to measure?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-bees-ever-have-bad-bg-days-for-no-reason#post-882352 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 10:58:31 +0000 ShootingStar 882352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: Yup, I submit weekly. I just asked the diabetes nurse that I send them to if I should be concerned. She said it could be a sign that I'm getting sick. I do feel a little off today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-bees-ever-have-bad-bg-days-for-no-reason#post-882347 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 10:56:54 +0000 tinyperson 882347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I found stress did it...and lack of sleep could do it too... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-bees-ever-have-bad-bg-days-for-no-reason#post-882249 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 10:22:01 +0000 yin 882249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having similar days myself. So far I'm diet controlled at 20 weeks, and I eat pretty much the same breakfast every morning. While my scores aren't super high, they vary so much from day to day. I think it might be a sign that I need medication soon, but I'm trying to hold out. Do you submit your scores weekly? Try talking to your doctor to see what he/she thinks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-bees-ever-have-bad-bg-days-for-no-reason#post-882245 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 10:18:48 +0000 ShootingStar 882245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the most part I've been keeping my blood sugar under control with diet and Metformin. But randomly today my numbers were way higher than normal before breakfast (100, usually &lt;90). And then high again after breakfast (130, usually 115ish.) My breakfast was something I eat 3-4 times a week and never have a problem with. </p> <p>Is this a bad sign that Metformin is no longer cutting it and I'll need insulin? </p>
