YES!!!!! I've had the same bedtime snack for probably at least a month now, with fasting readings between about 83 & 94. Suddenly today, the same snack got me a 104 fasting reading! I'm hoping that it's because I had insomnia last night, and things will go back to normal, but I've also read that at 37 weeks GD can spiral out of control (I'm 36 weeks tomorrow). Also: what's up with dr inconsistency?!? Mine are thrilled that I've been losing weight this whole time (while it makes me a little anxious). I'm sorry you're dealing with that added pressure to cut carbs, but still gain weight!
I just want to give you both props and say what an amazing job you are doing! It's hard work, and you are both taking excellent care.
Plus, my endocrinologist always says not to worry about one high number -- it can be concerning if you go high all the time, but one number is ok. Even people without GD sometimes experience a high. Plus plus - just consider that what you think is a high number (for example the difference from a fasting reading of 83 - 104) isn't really that high. It is slightly out of your target zone, yes -- but your bg monitor has a margin of error that wide (wider!!). The studies they publish of people with out of control bg are not getting readings of 104. You ARE in control. You got this!
Here's my mantra: dear baby, please take the nutrition you need, but leave the rest for me!
Yeah, I'll admit part of my concern is that the doctors will see it as a sign to deliver earlier/have more interventions.
