:wave: Hi

I was diagnosed with GD at 36 weeks. It didnt show up at all in the 28 wk test. :smt102
Anyway so they plan on inducing me next week, but until then I have to take my BSL and eat following a low G.I diet, which I am fine with because Ive only got a few days left obviously .....

However, something I dont understand about the BSL. All of my levels are fairly under the 6.9 mark, usually around the 4-5's BUT today I had a sandwich for lunch and 2 hours later my BSL was 7.8!

I cant get it out of my head that it got so high especially considering that the sandwich was on 9 Grain Bread and only had on it,
Tuna
Lettuce
One slice of Tomato
Cucumber
and I only had Natural Mineral Water (plain) to drink.

Prior to that, my after breakfast reading was 4.7 so I dont understand at all. What did I do wrong? Thats literally what I ate, no word of a lie. No butter, no salt nothing at all except for what I wrote.

Someone told me that stress can raise your BSL, is this true? Because as at right now, I cant see any other reason why my BSL got so high. The only other time my BSL has been that high (that I know of) was when I did the glucose test, and thats when they told me I had GD because it was ALOT higher than that even.

Should I throw away the food listed above and just avoid it for now incase it was the food?

To be 100% honest, yesterday I cheated and had a packet of chips. Two hours later I tested my BSL just to see what it was like and it was only 6.5!
I dont see how eating a packet of chips, naughty smiths chips at that, can be better for my BSL test than a sandwich.

Any help to understand this would be much appreciated.
