one other thing, when you post it is better if you use a 4 or 5 size black font as some of our members have difficulty reading smaller fonts....and we tell everybody this so don't feel awkward about it....it's a diabetes thing.  lol......see ya 

 

 

 

Hi Christie, it's Michelle who just gave birth to Allie 3 months ago.  Well it's important to be seeing a specialist or your current doctor often.  I went every other week and had NST (stress tests) done twice a week while pregnant.  You want to make sure the baby isn't getting too big and most importantly that your sugars are under tight control.  Your goal is under 90 fasting in the morning and under 140 post meals (I tested 2 hours after meals).  I know it's hard and it constantly fluctuates especially the further you go along but you have to keep trying.  My guess is you will need insulin and probably more of it the further you get. I  too had lots of resistance in the morning.  I'm not sure what your diet is consisting of but milk is usually a culprit of spiking sugars in the morning so eliminate that if you drink it.  I like the sugar & carb control yogurts by Danon. They only have 3 grams of carbs in it.  I also bought low carb bread.  Watermelon never got my sugar high but each person reacts differently so it's hard to tell what will work for you. Bananas are super high in sugar so stay away from that. I  guess what you need to do is eat more portions of protein and smaller portions of carbs.  I know it's hard and can get quite boring but for the time being it's just something you need to do. So eat more lean meats and cheese and nuts.  For me potatoes always got my sugars high while pregnant but I could eat rice and pasta and I was fine.  Make sure you eat throughout the day...3 meals and 3 snacks if you can.  Maybe we can help more if you give a breakdown of what you eat now and maybe some of use can help you better once we have that information.  bottom line is to check your sugars often -  preferably before and after each meal and before bed.  And drink water.  It's very important.  Hope this helps.
