When peoples blood glucose gets high or really high does that happen from eating too much?
I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes when I was pregnant, I am no longer pregnant my little girl is now almost a month old but my doctor wants me to still track my sugars by spot checking it.
I am wanting to find out do the highs that people have or get happen from eating what should be normal amounts of food say without taking their medicine? Or does it happen when they overeat or just eat food without considering what they are eating?
I ask this because I have noticed that when I have overeaten or not carefully it seems it effects my sugars and makes them higher. Like a smaller portion effects it some but more to too much food causes it to go higher.
Thank you,
Melissa D.
Hi Melissa, it is often a case of what was eaten, some foods even in excess will have a minimal impact on your blood glucose, examples are protein and fats from meats and many vegetables. However foods that contain simple carbohydrates will have a noticeable effect even in small amounts, examples a doughnut and most fruits some vegetables such as corn and peas. Each of us reacts differently so by testing we can find foods that are friendly to our systems as well as those that we need to limit.
