[Diabetes-Talk] Type ii pregnant diabetic

[Kubehl Family]

They currently only have me checking my sugar once a day, as of right now it fluctuates between 70 the highest it has ever been before fasting was 102, after fasting with 109. It was 109 after we came back from red Robin, and I had we won’t talk about how many baskets of fries, and ice cream sundae LOL it was after a birthday meal. But my typical fasting sugar is 100 at the highest, 82 at the lowest.
