So I have been trying to control my GD (which I think is likely T2 just caught while I was pregnant, but just not getting there. I managed to get my fasting levels to around 115 most mornings, and my after meals were in the high 130-140 range (1 hour post).

I have been working with a nutritionist who understands GD and T2 and together we have come up with a meal plan I can live with but she was worried that cutting anything else would leave me not eating enough for me and the baby (I am only having 3-4 carb exchanges a day at this point) and have already added excersize so there was sort of nowhere else to go from that direction. I am already losing over a kilo a week so really, cutting out anythign else or adding more excersize is just not in the cards right now)

So my doctor added a pill called Gluben (I think it is only called that here. When I look it up online I find the name glyburide). In any case, I am taking half a pill at breakfast and dinner- so from what I understand the smallest possible does.

This morning when I tested (after just starting this last night) I tested at 89. An hour after breakfast (1 carb, 1 protein, 1/2 fat) I tested at 121. Ok, so far so good right?

After going out for a walk an hour or so later it was at 131. I had nothing but water in between. I felt terrible though, shaky and headachey. I ate my regular snack (yogurt, nuts and some apple slices) and 2 hours later when I tested before lunch it was at 80.

Lunch was a grilled cheese sandwich on light bread with cucumber and techina (so 1 carb, 1 protein, 1 fat, and vegetable). After lunch an hour later, I tested at 75.

Should I be worried or thrilled?
