Good luck next week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-gd-for-a-previous-pregnancy#post-1996984 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 10:36:47 +0000 autumnlove 1996984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, there is something wrong with my meter (I hope!) because I stopped eating at 6 pm last night and even exercised after the girls went to sleep.</p> <p>My fasting was 310. I was shocked and I still had enough blood for another strip and that one was 82. Yeah, I think I will chill out until I know that I have GD. :P</p> <p>@Torchwood: I'm craving some sweets right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-gd-for-a-previous-pregnancy#post-1995892 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 12:25:59 +0000 Torchwood 1995892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been sorta trying to do better, but the reality is that I love my sweets so I'm enjoying them while I can most days. Which is a terrible plan but I also know I won't do good with it unless I'm accountable to someone. My blood test is in a couple weeks. Dreading it being bad (I'm convinced it will be), but it's better to know j guess. If I find my test kit before then I'm sure I'll test myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-gd-for-a-previous-pregnancy#post-1995795 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:39:46 +0000 autumnlove 1995795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Thanks, just a A1C draw so no drink involved on Tues! i guess I should give up my late night snacking and start exercising after dinner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-gd-for-a-previous-pregnancy#post-1995774 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:30:28 +0000 Mamasig 1995774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told less than 90 in the morning. I would sometimes have a mid 90 but I don't think I hit over 100. </p> <p>I was diagnosed for my 2nd pregnancy though I think I had it with my 1st too. I haven't asked if they'll test early next time. I'll probably watch what I eat before early on. But if I feel crappy, I'll eat whatever sounds good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-gd-for-a-previous-pregnancy#post-1995741 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:19:44 +0000 anonysquire 1995741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure that I've eaten high amounts of sugar for so long that my body is now immune. Because I've passed the test twice, somehow. </p> <p>Good luck on tuesday!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-gd-for-a-previous-pregnancy#post-1995686 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 10:59:48 +0000 MamaG 1995686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do the GD diet before necessary (and did have GD for #2 as well).</p> <p>103 is high for fasting, recommendations tend to be 90-95 as a maximum. </p> <p>I get to do a post partum glucose test next week (2 hour) and get my A1C checked every 6 months now too. It's a good thing I had chocolate chip cookies for breakfast.</p> <p>Congrats as well :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-gd-for-a-previous-pregnancy#post-1995672 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 10:55:24 +0000 autumnleaves 1995672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the fasting glucose is supposed to be 90 or less. I just had my first and had GD. Now I follow a modified diabetes diet - I still follow some of the advice the diabetes educator gave me but allow myself carbs and sweets sometimes. If I get pregnant again, I would test myself probably before I got the diagnosis again because I think eating better helped my pregnancy and LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-gd-for-a-previous-pregnancy#post-1995666 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 10:54:05 +0000 autumnlove 1995666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: My blood test is next Tuesday!<br /> @prettylizy: It is very new! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-gd-for-a-previous-pregnancy#post-1995655 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 10:51:29 +0000 lilteacherbee 1995655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably should... But no, not really :silly: At 7 weeks, I'm just trying to eat whatever is appealing and doesn't make my stomach turn. I'm trying to get better about it though. I believe my fasting numbers were supposed to be between 70-90. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-gd-for-a-previous-pregnancy#post-1995652 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 10:50:33 +0000 prettylizy 1995652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What?? ! I'm so out of the loop right now, BFP? Yay!!!!!!<br /> I didn't have GD but I would probably try and eat as much sugar and carbs before someone told me to stop :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-gd-for-a-previous-pregnancy#post-1995645 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 10:46:53 +0000 autumnlove 1995645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you try to follow the GD diet or test your blood sugar before you got the official diagnosis for your next pregnancy?</p> <p>I just pricked my finger for the first time since May 2013 and my fasting number was 103 at 6am. I don't remember if that is bad or good? I did eat a handful of Cheezits before I went to bed at midnight... </p>
