Re: If you have GD do you ever cheat on the diet?
Yay I am on medicine to help my fasting sugar...I am testing 4x a day. I guess I will play it by ear and if I have something special to go to or that special dessert once in a while should be ok..I am due in 11 weeks, so not that much longer to go....it is just so hard..

As my dr told me, your better off indulging yourself a little bit here and there, this way you don't go on a binge and make the sugar skyrocket one day.
I think about once a week i treated myself to something i was craving that was on my bad list.

Re: If you have GD do you ever cheat on the diet?
I did...nothing too crazy, but I would have an italian ice or a sweet drink (those were my two big cravings) here and there. As AP said, better to go with a craving here and there than to go on a sugar rush.

I did. My doctor said it was ok since the majority of the time all my numbers were good. Towards the end I had pancakes because I was craving them so badly!

This is the way I was - I only failed by 1 number and was told I would have passed by the old numbers. I did follow the diet closely - really I only had a little trouble on occasions with my fasting numbers not with my eating numbers - but only like 1-2 times a week with a 95 or a 96 (my doctor wanted me to be under 95 not at 95).
I only cheated 2 times - and they were at my OBs orders. My 5 year anniversary he told me to go out and have a wondering evening with my DH and eat anything that I pleased that day/night. We stayed over night at the hyatt windwatch and ate at the melting pot. And one mother's day my OB told me to relax and enjoy my mother's day meal. I had one small piece of cake. Otherwise I followed the diet closely the rest of the time.
