Why Is My Blood Sugar Still High?

  1. Nana Lamb - It should go down soon. You are getting really impatient! Has all the "belly" gone back to normal yet? NO? Ok, so you need some patience.

    Continue to eat low carb foods, exercise as the doctor advised, then put the baby in stroller and go for a walk! Walking helps all sorts of things, and pushing the stroller is adding some resistance to your walk. Daily and as fast as you can for an hour!!

  2. Kelly S - It can take 6 to 12 weeks for your sugar to return to normal after delivery, it all depends on the person. Your doctor will probably check it at your 6 week check. Congratulations and good luck!

  3. Tabea - This is something you should be discussing with your doctor.

    But it's something to flag up because in general, most women become much more insulin sensitive after delivering the baby.
