Any diabetic mothers have tips for managing during pregnancy? I read poorly managed diabetes can…

HI I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes about 7 weeks ago. I recommend if you have Facebook look up gestational diabetes support groups...I am in one with 5k ladies and they have BUNCH of advise.

basically watch carbs. carb limits for me is 15g for breakfast and all snacks 45g for lunch and 60g for dinner

@jadedplumeria, thank you! I'll have to look into it!

be mindful what works for some people won't always work for you. bodies react so differently. I can do pasta just fine but rice lord no lol.

I'm a t1d been a diabetic since I was 4. If I can help I will! I'm now 21&4 weeks

also if you do end up having Gestational Diabetes just know it's not your fault! there is nothing you could have done to prevent it. it's the placenta preventing insulin production. so don't beat yourself up over it. GD will become harder over the stretch of pregnancy to control I'm 35 weeks tomorrow and I am on Glyburide for my fasting numbers! I'm so sick of eggs and protein it's not even funny but it's all worth it. sorry about all the replies lol

I have it. I basically only lived on salads. It sucked. I am type one and got lectured all the time bout what I was eating and they told me salads with little chicken once a day
