@Jessica I'm 29+5 I'm eating eggs, avocado. Yoghurt, mixed berries with chia seeds and flaxseed. Wholemeal wraps with cheese, avocado and peppers. Chicken stir fry with veg on the side and new baby potatoes I'm doing my daily walks. There are a few things I can do like walk after every meal. But balancing that whilst being in my 3rd trimester is difficult too. I'm just tired and exhausted
I completely get it, it’s so hard and as the end gets closer I’ve been limited to how much I can walk cos it’s just so painful. With the fasting sugar I’ve been told there’s nothing much to do except medication so I’ve been put on metformin. I would suggest trying to test your sugars earlier in a morning and see if they are lower, I know that seems backwards but that’s how mine works, the longer I leave it to test the higher my fasting sugar is.
And just remember you are doing your best, there are a lot of people out there that don’t even change their diet after being diagnosed so you are doing amazing! Xx
More water. Exercise. What's your diet like?
For example I used to leave it as late on in the morning as I could before testing and then eating but that was completely wrong. I then started testing around 9am and still had borderline results but I then tested at 7am and am actually now below the target and then that helps me keep my numbers in track because I have something to eat and keep topping up with snacks to keep my numbers in range :)
It’s really hard girl I’ve been through all the motions a lot of it in the beginning is trial and error to see what works with your body. What things have you tried eating and how far along are you x
