[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2083909, member: 501623"] I noticed something similar after eating carbs just after I was first diagnosed with gestational diabetes and was still working out what I could eat. Something that spiked me to 8 or 9 mmol dropped me into the 3s once, whereas after the very low carb options I would only ever return to 4s or 5s. But as the pregnancy went on and my insulin resistance went up, the carb foods that would spike me to 9 mmol at one hour left me at 7 or 8mmol at the 2 hour mark and the crash back to the 4s came much later, after another hour or two for example. I wasn't exercising much but growing a baby does count as something taxing on the body and burns up your stores pretty fast. I was effortlessly in ketosis most nights towards the end of pregnancy if I didn't snack through the night. [/QUOTE]
