Awwww! You're almost there mama!

My nurse said a week or two of high numbers is not going to harm the baby so you *might* be okay. You can probably just check with your doctor just in case.

So close! Proud of you, friend!

I wish, I'm 33 weeks and really struggling with it! But my doctor told me that typically as your pregnancy progresses, it's not uncommon for your sugar levels to rise or more medication to become necessary as pregnancy progresses. And I'd feel awful if LO was born with their blood sugar messed up or it caused extra strain on the placenta. I know it's really hard, but just hang in there!

My numbers have been low, and my doctor isn't that concerned. After one good month on the diet (37 weeks now) I am definitely slacking this week, and making up numbers to show doc. I do check twice a day, just not four times. I don't think I actually have GD though - I never eat a lot of sugar, and I think the glucola just caused my body to go into sugar shock. My last growth scan a week ago shows that baby's weight is on target for her due date, and even if I splurge and have a small piece of chocolate, my blood sugar hasn't been crazy high. I'm still not having ice cream or brownies or other sugary stuff, but I'm not counting carbs meticulously either.

I'm a bad example. Don't do what I'm doing.

Sending you strength. Not long to go now!!!

I was religious about my GD management to the point where I had one high reading during my induction (it took a few days) and stated crying about it!! That was a bit silly but like Dandelion says it's very important to keep your blood sugars stable at this point so that baby doesn't have a sudden dip in blood sugar when he/she is born.

You can do it!!!

@wonderstruck: My fasting readings are always low to mid 80s. I think once it was as high as 91. And I have had bacon cheddar burger and fries from a fast food restaurant a few times, and an hour later my reading is perfectly fine too.
