Suggest Treatment For Gestational Diabetes
Hello, I am pregnant and just diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I have been taking my readings for 5 days now, and all have been in the 80 s and 90 s, except one at 110. Today, I haven t don e anything different, and got a reading 2 hours after eating lunch of 142....the only thing I can think of is that my sugar free iced coffee I ordered at 11:00 this morning was not made sugar free....is this reading really high and hurtful?

Hi, thanks for writing..
Yes, your sugar values are well controlled except with the 142 value post lunch.. Sugar could have caused the problem.. Have strict diabetic diet with upper body exercise to keep the sugar level under control.. Fasting level should be less than 110 and after food it should be within 140. Weekly check your fasting and postprandial.. if values not under control, insulin is advised.. Uncontrolled sugar level can cause big bay and hypoglycemia after birth.. Hope I have answered your query..Good day..
