I was also recently diagnosed with gd. Second pregnancy 1st with gd. Yesterday was my first day tracking my sugar and it was only out of whack after lunch @ 148 which I was told really isn't high. Doc wants me at <90 out of bed and <120 2hrs after meals.
I was surprised because I'm in good shape and have always tried be and eat healthy, especially after I found out I was pregnant. I'm older though (43) so that could be why the baby boy is making me insulin resistant.
The hardest part for me is knowing what I can and cannot eat. I have an appt with the dietician tomorrow, so that should help.
