Any diabetic mommy to be in here?? I need advise about food dieting. I already am but I'm getting…

Me! I'm type one though and wasn't told to diet throughout my pregnancy. I'm assuming you're type one as well?

Yes I'm type 1 I think!? I do take insulin @martinajjones

Type one is the same as juvenile diabetes. If you're on injections or the pump then chances are you're type one. Did your doctors put you on a diet?

@crystalcelestee,

Yeah they did she told me to keep my blood sugar control @martinajjones because if it goes high I can loose my baby

That's true if they stay over 300 for an extended amount of time @crystalcelestee Their main concern is the baby's weight when it's time to be born. My A1C has been 5.8 throughout my pregnancy and my baby is weighing almost 9 pounds so I have to have a c section on Friday. Main thing is to just stick to a normal good diet. No fast food, limit carbs to 60 per meal, whole grains and lots of fruit and veggies. Drink water and no soda of any kind. That will help with babys weight and will help you feel good into the last trimester.

Do you count carbs? I'm type one as well but was never told to diet. You need to adjust your insulin to keep your blood sugars under control. Do you see an endocrinologist for your diabetes?

I keep my blood sugar controlled I wake up morning and check it and it always on 77 - 89 and afternoons it always 80-99 at times it goes to 139 but not like 200 no no.. I drink lots and lots of water I'm eating grilled chicken and lots of veggies and when my blood sugar goes low to 60 I eat like a apple or other fruits so my blood sugar won't go low to 45 @martinajjones I at times wake up in the middle of the night with super low like 50 and it scares me

Yes I do @ash621 and no I don't ☹️

It sounds like you're doing great with your blood sugars @crystalcelestee Just like @martinajjones said, try to stick to a normal well-balanced diet. 50 is too low, I slept with a glass of juice next to the bed just in case. My OB/GYN didn't know much of diabetes, so they let my endocrinologist help with all my blood sugar issues. You might need a little extra help as you get further along, who writes the prescription for your insulin?

By the time I was 37 weeks I was using almost 250 units of insulin every day 😬😳 @crystalcelestee

Thanks! And yeah my ob/gyn doesn't really know about diabetes and she writes the prescription for my insulin...and I will do that for now on have orange juice by my side when my blood sugar goes low @ash621

Really? So once I turn 37 or so weeks they might change my insulin units? @ash621

No, it will increase gradually... I just needed more and more insulin the further along I got. You'll notice that even if you eat the same food, you need to take more insulin to control your blood sugars. I'm here and happy to help if you have any questions. Just remember to take it one day at a time and that you're doing a great job! @crystalcelestee

Okay thank you!!! I just followed you 🙂💙 @ash621

I've been a type 1 diabetic since I was 4 an I'm now 24. Do u have a pump?
