GD Win!- SNICKERS ice cream bars!!
So... since being diagnosed with GD, I have struggled with a few of my fasting numbers. This week, I reached the highest with a 101. But I realized, I had finished dinner/dessert before 8:30 pm and I overslept and didn't test until 9 am. Over 12 hours with no food and my body was trying to wake me up.
So... the next day, I tried a bedtime snack of the recommended cheese and crackers. Not only was that not satisfying... it didn't work. I was still over 90, I think with a 92 or 94 or something. But I got up earlier to test, somewhere between 7:30-8:15. I was awake since 5, but tossing and turning and just laying there.
So... last night, I had a snickers ice cream bar right before turning off the lights. When I started to wake up around 6:30, instead of laying in bed until I decided to eventually get up, I tested myself. I was back in the 70's!!!!
So... I told DH that I guess we have to go to Sam's Club and stock up on a big box of snickers ice cream bars LOL. If GD is forcing me to do it... I guess it needs to be done!
(But the one downside to this- GD makes lots of people lose weight but I guess GD makes me gain weight. I've gained 5 pounds in the 2.5 weeks I've been on it!)

Wow that's great that your dietician allows you to have ice cream and chocolate on your diet! Both were an absolute no-no for me!

I don't think I would have been allowed to eat that, but very interesting that it worked for you! My dietitian told me NO dessert. That stunk. I also didn't lose any weight and continued to gain at the same rate I had prior to the diet, but my numbers were good. I found that I was actually eating a lot more with the diet, although much of it was healthier.

i was told the same thing too buttttttttttttt to keep my sanity i tried a 90cal 15g of carb target brand ice cream pop. i tested 1 & 2 hours after eating it and my levels where under 100  I only do it once a week.
I don't think the snacks the problem
I think its you dont test when you wake right away. I was told I needed to test within 15mins of waking up.
Try not to eat the snickers everyday.
