GD. .fasting numbers help!

My after meal numbers are perfectly fine. This is my 3rd baby and 3rd go around with GD. I can't help but feel like I'm doing something wrong/different this time. My cut off is 95 for fasting and my first two numbers have been 94 and 96. I'm worried. I have a fear of medicine because I was told it's so inconsistent. I feel like crap most of the time (13 weeks tomorrow) and I just don't think I could handle the dramatic lows and highs.
I found my old log from my last pregnancy and it appears that I appears tete cereal alot as a before bed snack. My numbers then were in the 70 ' s and 80's. Hardly a 90 to be seen. Do you guys have any tricks or tips that may help me?
I've also got a cough and I'm wondering if that's partly why my numbers have been higher.

Re: GD. .fasting numbers help!
I eat a whole grain waffle with no sugar peanut butter or sugar free jello. Sometimes a granola bar. I was to keep my snacks at 15-30 carbs. But like I said, at night I would keep my carbs on the lower side so I wouldn't risk high fasting numbers.
But each pregnancy is different. I am doing better this time around than last time. In fact I wasn't getting enough sugar and mine would drop making me dizzy and light headed. So that is why they told me I ciuld try eating what I wanted and test every so often. I only have 7 weeks to go before LO gets here. Hopefully I can make it without having to test 4 times a day again.
