Answers:
Slim.. Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar... I believe you meant to say that you are Hyperglycemia which is high blood sugar, which women who aren't diabetic but are pregnant are tested for around that time.. This could definitely lead to gestational diabetes, but don't be alarmed..I would suggest starting to change your diet, if you haven't already. Stop eating processed foods, which tend to have nothing good in them anyways, but are loaded with tons of carbs, which will be broken down in your body as sugar.. If you already have too much sugar in your blood, this won't help the problem. Stock up on whole grains, light dairy, tons of veggies and fruit (but do veggies more than fruit, as fruit has tons of sugar). I would also trying doing some light exercise if you haven't already (just walking) because exercising will naturally lower your blood sugar..

Now if you really do have hypoglycemia which not many people have unless they are diabetic, you will need to add some sugar to your body. I would drink a 1/2 cup juice with every meal, do not wait too long to eat and you will crash.. try to eat small mini meals (like 6-8 times a day) kind of like grazing, but not on chips and dip.. etc.

Lots of people who aren't diabetics, think they experience hypoglycemic episodes, which they do, when they haven't eaten in a while... like faintness, tingling of the hands, light-headedness, etc.. try eating something, it usually does the trick!

Best of luck with your pregnancy - you're almost there!!!!!! Health Question & Answer
