I should add a disclaimer that my blood sugars don't really seem to follow a discernible pattern but are always within range. My doctor said the numbers will fluctuate from day to day because of hormones. But I just thought this might be a curious trend and wondered if it meant anything.
The past few days, my one-hour post-meal numbers have been in the low 100s, seemingly no matter what I eat. I haven't been pushing it or anything, but I had half a Chipotle burrito bowl today that would normally give me a reading in the 130s (I just have to be below 140), and I was at 103 an hour later. Yesterday for lunch I had leftover beef tenderloin, mashed potatoes, and brussels sprouts -- a HUGE lunch for me -- and was at 87 an hour later. I've also been treating myself to tiny pieces of office chocolate a couple of times a day at the beginning of meals, and still my numbers seem way lower than what's typical for me.
I'm 34 weeks, did anybody notice something like this? I'm going in weekly, doctor's monitoring my blood sugars, had a BPP last week and my first of many weekly NSTs yesterday, and everything has been normal so far. I was reading that sometimes GD can eat away at the placenta so lower blood sugar readings mean the placenta isn't working as efficiently, but no tests have shown that to be the case so far, and at any rate, I haven't spent much if any time at the "danger zone" consistently above 140 to account for a placental decay. And then I hear that sometimes it happens when you're close to labor -- eeks.
Anyway, I know it's really a question for my doctor, and now that I've asked, I'll probably have readings in the 120s and 130s tomorrow lol but I was just curious if anybody else had noticed this phenomenon the further along you get!
ETA I'm not on insulin or any other medication for the GD, just diet.
