GD- What is worse a high BS or spilling Ketones?

Kara EKara E
in High-Risk Pregnancy
Last night we went out for my husbands birthday and I ate well, steak and veggies, and splurged on garlic mashed potatoes, a little bread and a few bites of creme brulee. I wasn't planning on checking my bs because we ate so late but ended up being awake anyway... so my number was 92! Great! And I went to bed... tired and still full... skipped my normal snack. This morning I was spilling moderate Ketones. I am guessing because I skipped my snack? I ate a higher calorie breakfast hoping my ketones will correct.

    My dr. would always say high blood sugar. He doesn't care one bit about keytones. I don't know that he is 100% correct but I def. worry more about blood sugar than keytones because of it. :)

    I have read that Ketones can be very dangerous for the baby although both higher blood sugar numbers & ketones occasionally won't hurt anything.  My doctor did say however not to test for those first thing in the morning because they will show up & that is ok first thing in the morning because you were fasting.

    mine says both are equally concerning but like the pp said, either occasionally is not a big deal, it's consistent high BS or consistent high ketones that are concerning.

    Be sure you're getting your water in and take a walk when you can - I spilled trace the entire 3rd tri with good blood sugars! It's sometimes just a "side affect" of being pg.

    my OB isn't worried about ketones.  He doesn't even want me testing them.  He says all pregnant women spill a little bit of ketones.  It would be an issue if you were spilling large amounts, but trace amounts is normal for all pregnant women.

    Thanks! Most days I am negative or trace to small....

    I have an appointment tomorrow and I am thinking/hoping that I won't have to monitor anymore at home... it's just one more thing to have to do! I'll be at weekly appointments after this week so I am hoping we can just check them there and call it good!
