Check-in with Dietitian

I had a follow up appointment with the dietitian this morning. There was also a registered nurse there as well. The good news is that I haven't gained any weight in the last week - I had previously been gaining a pound a week or more.

Although I had a few high post-breakfast and post-dinner glucose readings, she said my averages for the week were under 130. And none of my post-lunch readings were high. She said I was doing a good job with the diet and was pleased I am eating a variety of foods, as well as drinking plenty of milk. I don't need to go back for a month unless I find a pattern of high readings.

I asked if she thought I would have a harder time later in the pregnancy, since I've heard that increased hormones later in the pregnancy can make it even more difficult to keep blood sugar within normal ranges. But she didn't think I'd have any trouble given what I'm eating and how my numbers are. And given the fact that I'm already at 28 weeks.
