GD higher numbers during last few weeks

chatty6176

I am just about 35 weeks with GD.  So far I have been diet only controlled.  My average has been 98 over the last 90 days. The past few mornings my fasting numbers have been in the low 90's and they are normally low to mid 80's.  My after dinner numbers have been hovering aroud 120...tonight 123 after 2 hours.  I went for my walk (slow walk because kids were with me) and everything.  It's getting really hot here. I don't know if the heat is affecting it.  Did anyone's numbers begin to get higher around 35 weeks and if so, what did you have to do?  TIA

It's pretty common to have things fluctuate as you approach term. You can try altering your diet again to counteract these effects, but be prepared in case it isn't enough to control things.

It's definitely worth mentioning to your OB, even though your numbers don't seem too particularly high just yet. If your numbers rise and fasting is consistently high, they may switch you to a small dose of meds to keep numbers where they should be.

Thanks ladies.  I have been so good the whole time with exercise except the last week or so since school stopped and my hubby has been working late.  My walks aren't the same when I have to bring the 2 boys with me.  They take their time.  A few more weeks....a few more weeks..........
