Diet Delivery

Ok, kind-of weird. I have Gestational diabetes that is being controlled by checking my blood sugar 2x a day, and cutting out simple sugars such as reg. pop, candy, cookes, sugary foods, etc…
Well, today I got some fast food, and I ordered a Diet pop, like usual. I’ve been drinking it for so long now, I have a hard time telling if it is diet or regular, unless I can take a sip of regular, then mine to taste the difference. (usually from my hubby’s).
So when I got home, i took a drink of my pop and it didn’t taste diet. I ordered Diet Pepsi, which I usually drink- and this one had a sugary aftertaste and just didn’t seem like diet. So I tested my blood sugar really quick to see- it was 75.
So I went ahead and ate my lunch and decided to drink it, but not a lot (it was a large with a lot of ice, but I only drank about 1/3 of it), and test my B.S. right after lunch, and then again 2 hours later.
(Last time I had a reg. pop was about 2 months ago, and after drinking the tiny regular coke from a McDonald’s happy meal, my blood sugar spiked into the 160’s!)
Well, right after lunch today, it was 97. I started to feel jittery too, and then really tired. Baby was moving around a lot too, but not really a lot more than usual around lunch time. I haven’t felt this way since I last had a sugar rush!
2 hours after starting my lunch, I checked my BS again, and I thought for sure it was high, but it was only 99!
So my question is, how can I tell if I drank diet or regular.. or is there a chance that Gestational Diabetes can go away before baby is born??? I was diagnosed at 29 weeks, and I am now 1 day away from 37 weeks.
btw- I “tested” my pop on a strip with my meter and it just read “high”. Just thought I’d try it LOL.
Thanks for your input!
