Can contractions cause blood sugar levels to rise? I have gestational diabetes and have been able to control my numbers very well and today they have been much higher than normal even with eating the same meals that I have  eaten over the past days/weeks and had perfect numbers?
Contractions don't cause rise in blood sugars. With contractions the blood sugar level decreases. Monitor your sugars for one more day to see if you need any increase in dose of insulin or adding of insulin
