GD'ers - All of a sudden fasting #'s lower?

slacy

Before I saw the endo, my fasting numbers were running between 100-104.  We adjusted my bedtime snack and added more protein and they've run between 90-97.  The past 2 days they've been 89 and 85.  Any ideas?  I haven't done ANYTHING differently.  The only thing I can think of is maybe the baby was going through his last major growth spurt (he was measuring close to 5lbs at my growth u/s this past Wed.) and that elevated my #'s a little bit for a couple of weeks.

Thoughts?

Mine used to be low all the time between wks 29-33 (75-89), then started slowly climbing between 33-36 (95-100). At about week 36, they just leveled off again and are now at about 75 consistently. Babies go through different phases of insulin need, so it's possible he just hit a leveling off point. Nice though, isn't it? I was getting up in the middle of the night to consumer 30g of carbs and it's nice not to have to interrupt my sleep to get carbed up!

Mine have lowered too, but you are much further along than I am.

I was told though that towards the end, the numbers would start to lower and I'd probably need LESS insulin.

FYI, my numbers when I wake up (after sleeping late actually) are always in the low 70s. ?I am getting a little nervous about it too, but really, I am able to have a little more for breakfast- my reduced sugar OJ, a muffin (I am in love with muffins!!!!!) and?scrambled?eggs. ?I won't eat all that if I'm in the 80s.?
