I haven't done 4 reading a day the past few days. Have done 2 or 3 because I keep going for long naps in the day and end up missing the after breakfast and after lunch reading. My fasting levels have been a bit elevated though and it's entirely my fault.
How many week along are you?

Any rants, raves or questions?
I was so good last week with my numbers but felt like I was starving that whole week and would throw up every day from feeling like I'm not eating enough. My twins had a bday on Saturday and I basically said screw it I'm having a piece of cake. The next day I ate a box of KD. MY first taste of pasta in weeks because it spikes my readings. Dammit it though it was the first time I felt full in over a week. I'm so tired of eating eggs for breakfast and celery sticks and nuts as snacks. I really love cheese but I'm getting sick of that now too.
I already have to inject fragmin for a blood clot twice a day. Now I have GD and can't eat anything I want or I'm getting sick of what I like and now I have this wretched rash called PEP or PUPPS and no creams, special baths oils are soothing the itch that has spread to pretty much my hole body expect my face. I have hives everywhere! Everywhere! I seem to be allergic to this pregnancy. Everything is going wrong and I just have to suck it up so now I just sleep as much of the day away as possible because food options depress me and it's the only time I'm not scratching myself raw.
GTKY Question: What is the one thing you will eat or drink after having baby?
A pasta casserole and a giant bowl of fruit! Also I don't drink coffee daily but when I do treat myself to a cup I'm putting 2 sugars back in it. I hate other sweetners, most upset my stomach. Coffee without sugar just isn't nearly as satisfying.

Team blue, name decided but not sharing yet!
I feel you on the cheese. I am a cheese addict, but I am SO sick of it. I think I might have to hit one of the fancy stores and find some funky cheeses to indulge.
Also, canned Reddi-Whip whipped cream only has 1 carb per serving, so try that in your coffee... I've been just having half and half, but I added some RW today and it was a good choice.
I don't blame you on the naps. Sometimes it's nice to just escape this stupid diagnosis and relax. @JessyH

@ashleygorokhovsky My fasting numbers were high for a few days in a row and I toyed with my bedtime snack and that seemed to do the trick. I added in extra carbs, which runs contrary to what you would normally think- but if you don't have enough it will send your body into ketosis which throws your liver off and into thinking your body needs help and then it dumps a bunch of glucose into your system- therefore higher readings in the morning. At least that's the way I understand it. One night I did 1/4 cup of greek yogurt and a package of lower sugar oatmeal (it has 24 grams of carbs) and I had one of the lowest readings I've had yet. So you might want to try to mess around with your night time snack. It might work.
I echo whoever said they are sick and tired of eggs. I swear that's all I eat in the morning and I AM OVER IT. I told my DH that after this pregnancy if I never see another egg again it will be a day too soon!
