Waaaa! I don't like this gestational diabetes thing. My numbers haven't been good at all - despite following the diet...or...meal plan as they call it now. Now I will admit to having a couple of pieces of Dominoes pizza last night. For that I paid the price of having my blood sugar a whopping 149 (2 hours post meal). I took my metformin at about 9pm...and my BS was still 132 at 10:30pm when I crawled into bed. I need to remind you that my post meal BS should be a MAX of 120, and fasting in the morning should be a MAX of 95. Well, big surprise when my fasting BS today was 120. I ate strictly according to my diet for breakfast and was rewarded with a nice 104. HOWEVER, after a striclty GD lunch my BS was a shocking 131. I am so afraid I will be on insulin shots by this time next week. I am madder than hops. Here I am sticking to the diet (for the most part) and my numbers are getting worse and worse. I don't want to hurt the baby, but it seems like my body is betraying me. I was doing some research on-line and it says that if your numbers are over the max. more than 2 times in a 2 week period they suggest starting insulin injections. What chance do I have then? I have had bad numbers at least once every day. Don't get me wrong - the whole shot thing doesn't bother me...it is just the idea of needing them that gets me down. I am supposed to wait a full week before calling the doc. with my results - but if this keeps up I may just call him on Monday. Ugh.
