Gestational diabetes what to do when blood sugars are high during morning fast?

I checked my blood levels for the first time this morning and they were at 181. My doctor told me it should be at 95. How do I lower it? He didnt tell me what to do if it was high, he just told me to check it before I eat breakfast and check it 2 hours after lunch. I am new to all of this and have been waiting for a dietician to call me and tell me what my next steps are. I was just diagnosed yesterday morning and the health of my child is on the line here so I am pretty worried about what I should do to lower these blood sugar levels. Sorry if I sound like an idiot who doesnt know what she is talking about.... because I dont LOL.

I also just checked after lunch and I am at 256. No I didnt eat anything too big or carby. I had green beans and cream of mushroom soup. I also ate an apple with ground cinnamin... I am pregnant people... odd combinations taste yummy lol. But I know that is waaaaaayyyyy too high.

I agree with 'justwondering' you should call the doctor and tell him. You definitely need to be on insulin ( rapid acting ) 3 times/day premeals//

Contact the dietitian or ask the doctor to arrange for you and get a Diabetes Educator to educate you on insulin therapy/techniques and further management on diabetes; your lifestyle modification.

You need to continue monitoring your blood glucose pre meals and 2 hour post meals at least 4-6 times per day until your next review with your doctor ?diabetologist/diabetes educator. Post 2 hours of meal should be around 120mg/dl
Once you are been monitored and undergone the education, you would more confident and motivated.. :)

Don't get too anxious and completely restrain yourself from eating....your baby still need to grow and be healthy throughout the whole pregnancy or you would get ended up with hypoglycaemia ( low blood sugar ).

All the best!
