Me too 😕 I'm going on 9 weeks being diagnosed. It's not so bad. I'm on metformin and diet changes and I've actually lost almost 10 pounds! Any questions let me know.
I just got diagnosed last week. I had to take a class yesterday and had to change most of my eating habits. It sucks, but just remember it's all for baby and only for the rest of pregnancy.
@hmpjcp2014 I'm not on meds either, I just have to watch what I eat and test my sugar in the morning and after every major meal. :( if you want, I can message you some pics of the lists and meal plans they gave me
@hmpjcp2014, that was the hard part for me too! Everyone is different though and your body handles carbs differently...I can't have bread, but I can have a small piece of chocolate cake! Go figure!! I've just really cut my carbs in my meals, breakfast is cottage cheese or a protein bar or eggs and bacon, snack is cheese stick and fruit, lunch is salad or leftover from dinner, dinner is any protein and I do good with beans or a sweet potato. It just takes planning and making sure you have healthy snacks for in between.
@hmpjcp2014 I'm mainly drinking water, but the nutritionist said that we can use those mio flavorings, or drink like the La Croix fizzy drinks if we need something other than water. Usually I'll have a small glass of milk or juice with a meal but I have to be careful bc some juices spike my sugar while others don't. Also, I'm lucky that milk doesn't spike my sugar.
