GD-Anyone else starving in the night?

lmcgt

I just had my first appointment this week to get my diet plan but I've been watching what I eat for about 2 weeks and doing great however the last two nights I wake up starving? Anyone else having this issue or have advice on a better evening snack to last til morning? I'm afraid eating in the night will throw off my fasting numbers and so far I'm doing good without any medication.

I have that happen sometimes. I usually just drink some water and go back to sleep!

I used to wake up starving. I started eating two protein bars (Nature Valley Protein bars are great) before bed - btwn 9 and 10. It helps me stay full until about 6. I also drink water every time I wake up at night to help keep something in my stomach. It's hard to balance eating enough to meet the babies' needs and not spike my blood sugars.

I was told I could have protein if I woke up hungry.  Sometimes I would have a glass of milk though and be fine

I keep a protien bar and nuts by my bed for times like this. I also find that a glass of milk helps. None of these ever affected my fasting numbers.
