GD ladies - should I be concerned?

ShannonLK

My fasting number was up again this morning - 100.  Should be under 95.  I couldn't find any protein to eat with my snack last night.  Sad, I know.  I wasn't really concerned about that number though.  Yeah, I want to get it down but I didn't stress about it.

I ate breakfast.  The same breakfast I've been eating for 4 days now.  I was at 122 - should be under 120 - which I know isn't up by much at all.  Cause for concern?  I was excited about finding a breakfast cereal that worked and that tasted good.  Do I need to switch it up?

Thanks!

my numbers are usually up depending on what i had for dinner the night before and my evening snack- something spiked you. go through last nights eating?

my nutritionsit warned me about cereal. so watch out for that!

I know cereal can be touch n go.  Each morning for the previous mornings I was at 112 after the cereal.  It's so frustration.

I'm so confused.  My after dinner reading was fine.  So I guess it was the snack.  Like I said, no proten, but yet the other day when my fasting number was 108 my after breakfast reading was fine.

There are so many variables to this!

I'm learning that cereal is a no-go breakfast for me... although I haven't tried the Special K stuff the girls always talk about on here the lower carb options I have tried have put me REALLY close. Maybe switch it up before you get too worried about it?!

This morning I had a Mission Whole Wheat Carb balance tortilla filled with 2 scrambled eggs, 3 sausage links (which only said 1 serving but it almost felt like too much?!) and I grated a string cheese in there too. I finished with a 1/2 cup of grapes and was SO full - only 31g carbs though and I measured at 105!!! I was amazed actually I thought I'd be close.

Good luck Shannon!

The Special K protein plus is what I've been eating. 

I'll try something different in the morning.  I need DH to go to the grocery store and get me some peanut butter!
