Gestational Diabetes at wk 28

Just to check if any mums with GD experience with this? I am trying to check my blood sugar daily. But out of 3 meals a day usually will have one meal that slightly exceeds 6.5 (max range after food, taken 2hrs after meal). Is reading 6.8-7.0 for that exceeding meal bad for baby development? I’m trying hard and is very hungry but I still have problem getting every meal below 6.5… Please help..

I am also having GD now. I try to keep my carbs portion such as potato, rice, noodles as my fist size. always eat protein first also helps. Maybe you can try out this and see whether it helps to keep it down to less than 6.5 for the second hour reading. 🙂

Thanks! I will try.. I don’t even dare to eat carbs max also 2-3 mouthful bcoz it’s really hard to stay within 6.5.. but I’m always hungry.
