[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP some people have a lot of success with a bedtime snack for fasting numbers. I’ve heard cheese, yogurt, nuts etc. None of that worked and I ended up needing insulin at night. I didn’t need it for meals, though I was super careful about diet. It worked great. Sometimes it’s just your placenta’s problem and you can’t fix it on your own.

I highly recommend just putting some snacks and meals on repeat. Some of my favorites were Greek yogury and strawberries, nature valley protein bars, and sweetgreen salads. For breakdast I ate a piece of Ezekiel bread (in the freezer) and eggs or peanut butter 85% of the time and it just made things simple. I could always do more than 30g carbs in a sweetgreen salad without a spike, because they’re complex carbs paired with fiber etc. [/quote]

I like cheese as a snack or peanutbutter can be good, but start with cheese. With my third kid I had GD and when I ate cheese my blood sugar was too low in the am so I switched to peanubutter. Always something. [/quote]
