A member asked:

Why does the same food give very different results for gestational diabetes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You're trying: To make it too simple. Even though you think you eat exactly the same from one time to the next, there are millions of other factors changing in your body every second which can effect your glucose. It's much, much more complicated than you think. Discuss w/your diabetes team members.
