GDM at 28 weeks pregnanct

I’m with kkh, following up for gdm too. It could also mean that your body is facing insulin resistance. My gynae doesn’t encourage me to starve, so she’d get me to try changing my food choices. Interestingly, not everyone responds the same way to the same food, and eating at home and out can get very diff results. For e.g. eating mee sua at home, keeps my glucose levels down, but eating mee sua outside always spikes my glucose levels. The endocrinologist that sees me tells me that it could sometimes be additional sugar used outside to cook the soup and we dont realise it that way because we cook our food differently. So good to explore and find some foods that doesn’t spike and might have to stick to the same stalls. I have seen gdm forums where a small group of mummies’ sugar spike when they take soya bean. Which a lot of mummies would not believe and finds it odd. Personally I was surprised too. But they tested their glucose levels and it really spikes. Take a bit time to explore and try out even foods you crave for. It’ll be quite manageable after a while. Dont worry about it! And, actually 7 is not super atrocious figures (my gynae tells me this cause my morning glucose keeps spiking), but of course, I am already on meds and they increased my meds to help me manage it better so that I can still eat normally, and baby gets the nutrients he needs.
