Gestational Diabetes: A Guide for Pregnant Women

Are these blood sugar levels alright? (Gestational diabetes)?

Do these levels seem alright? I thought they were a little low .. my doctor said that 2 out of 4 levels were high for my 3 hour GTT and that they weren’t even that “bad” .. but regardless I’ve been diagnosed with GD and I’ve been following the diet fine .. and I only started the diet yesterday .. but do these seem normal? The doctor wants me to stay under 90 for fasting and under 130 an hour after meals. (NOT two hours, one hour!)

Day 1
F-81
B-103
L-105
D-91

Day 2
F-92 (2 over my ideal .. not that bad I don’t think!)
B-120
L-98
D-111

Just worried .. thanks! :)
pegz64 — no they don’t, my doctor said under 130 an hour after the three big meals (breakfast, lunch, & dinner) .. i think i already said this?
& why would I need 3-4 times the insulin when I’m not on any insulin in the first place .. ? My doctor’s office said it’s very rare for them to put anyone on insulin .. & I am not on it!

Blood sugar levels of the pregnants with Gestational Diabetes?

Hi,

My wife recently diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes (GDM). Her 50gr glucose test came over 200 (3hr test supported first finding). She was put on a diet by her perinatalogist (high-risk pregnancy doc) about a week ago. However her fasting and 1hr after breakfast blood glucose levels (BGL) are still relatively high (fasting ~95, 1 hr after breakfast ~150). 1 hr after lunch and 1 hr after dinner levels are normal (both ~110). Her fasting BGL should be <90 and 1 hr after eating <140. So anybody has any idea how bad is 95 compared to a 90 limit and how bad is 150 compared to 140 limit? Will she need insulin? Any idea why her BGL is high in the morning? Any suggestion for us to get it lower in the morning only? Can anyone out there with GDM can tell us her levels so that we can compare? Are pills ok during pregnancy (I read at several places thay they are not, but some says ok).

Thanks!

Gestational Diabetes and normal blood sugar levels??

What is the normal blood sugar of someone who is pregnant after eating dinner? Or the recommended amount of sugar for that time?
My doc said I am borderline diabetic so he didnt really have any explanations and I have a blood sugar monitor, and I was 123 after dinner two hours after. I wanted to make sure that it was ok. I dont want to have a 10 pound baby!! :)
Oh he said I was ok’d not to have to monitor it, by how low my scores were. I am chubby but not giant and I just was wondering..

How many weeks is normal for delivery with gestational diabetes?

I am 33 weeks along with gestational diabetes. I have been doing very well with my blood sugar levels and my diabetes is controlled by diet.

Is it likely that my doctor will let me carry to 40 weeks?

what is the normal target glucose level with Gestational diabetes?

I have tested positive with gestational diabetes a couple of days ago and have been montoring my blood sugar level at home. The result I’ve got seems a little bit low to me. My before breadfast is around 82 mg/dl and my 1 hr. after breadfast is around 98mg/dl. Should I be concern? Is it normal?
