Am I cheating?
So today after lunch I had my 1h reading 8.2 ( I drink some diet coke before so I assume šµāš«) I didnāt log the reading cause I wanted to try the 2 h one.. anyway, I went for a walk, drink plenty of water and after another h was 5.9 They told me if Iām not able to test after 1h, try after 2 h but it should be less than 6.4, which was ok for me. I think diet work doesnāt work for, as I assume this was the reason for the high one, but since I didnāt log the high one and log the 2 h one that means I was cheating?? I try as much as possible to avoid insulin and control it by diet only

@Lindsay yeah thatās true.. I will log everything from now on
Log it all because it doesnāt necessarily mean youāll have to go on medication. You know exactly what triggered the high reading so you know to stay within range via diet only, donāt drink Diet Coke or other fizzy drinks. I had the same issue, I drank an orange juice with my breakfast and my reading was high. I told my GD midwife the reason for the high reading and she said ah yes cut out orange juice. After that, my post breakfast readings was fine. Itās all trial and error and what you can cut out to control it. I think meditation is only for ppl that whatever they do they cannot control it via diet only.
@Sheena thanks, good point

I would log all your numbers and let them know and be honest. Usually they will put you on Metformin first before insulin. I didnāt want to go on any medication either. But itās better that your sugars are under control and your baby isnāt growing too fast or getting too much sugarsā¦ than it is to not be on any medication. It sucks! Trust me I knowā¦ but itās only temporary. Just think about whatās best for baby.
