Another GD question, Do numbers ever even out??

Hi ladies, I'm 32 weeks a and am still struggling with my GD fasting numbers. I am on 2.5 mgs of glyburide , it worked for about a week and now my numbers are back at 95-100. My nurse/dietician said my numbers should start to even out at about 36 weeks. Did this happen for any of you ? Did your numbers ever get better and become steady? Im Really frustrated with this as my fasting is really the only number I'm having issues with. I am completely terrified of having to do insulin and I'm hoping I can just up my glyburide. I'd love to hear your success or non success stories.

    Around 36 weeks my numbers really started to lower. My fasting went from the high 70s down to the 60s. I'm eating a lot more carbs with each meal. I can, finally, drink a glass of milk without fear. For dinner last night I had salad, baked spaghetti, and a bread stick. All unmeasured and came in at 99 after 1 hour. I am diet controlled.

    I'm 38w this week and TBH I've stopped counting the carbs. I have only been high 1 time and that was probably because I had a bit if a splurge at Wendy's.... that involved a frosty.

    I won't lie, at this point, I've nearly given up. I'm exhausted, I ache all over, I've only gained 17lbs (was low normal weight pre-pregnancy), and I figure two weeks can't hurt. As long as I'm not binge eating on sweets and pasta every day.

    I hope you can stay away from the insulin. I know my OB said it can go either way. Some people level off while others find it even more difficult to control later on.

    Best wishes!

    Mine leveled off at about 35 weeks. I was diet controlled and took 1.25 mg Glyburide at bedtime. In order to control my fasting, I went from 30 to 15 g carbs for my bedtime snack, I also would eat a *lot* of protein with the snack. Often it was one piece of wheat toast (15 g carbs), BBQ Pork and string cheese. This helped. 

    good luck!
