hi naomi.
it might ve what you're eating but the endo told me &(ive found this with both pg with gd) that you may get to a certain point in your pg where yout levels rise regardless of what you eat.
as for diet - it's tough because different people get diff readings from the same food. generally they suggest low gi foods & staying on top of portion control (for example 1 cup of pasta or 1/2 cup of basmati rice with a meal). if you check out the diabetes association for your state they often have meal suggestions. i would normally have multigrain toast for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch & then something like steak & vegies/salad for dinner. snacks were fruit, yoghurt (altho check the sugar content). exercise is good for bringing levels down. you should also eat regularly.
I think a lot of people don't realise that eating high GI foods is just another form of eating sugar - I've noticed when I cut down on the carbs (not just the obvious sugar) my glucose falls down to normal.
I'm just hoping I can keep my glucose levels down with diet alone.
