Pizza craving.What can i do?
Hello i am 34 weeks with type 2 diabetes. Ive had to check and control my sugar since i found out i was pregnant but i never been given an appointment to see a nutritionist so i just try to avoid foods i know will get my sugar high and all thru the pregnancy i been able to control it. Lately i been craving pizza alot but now that i am in the 3rd trimester i know it will make my sugar higher than usual. What can i do to satisfy my craving? Is there alternative that pizza places can have? Any options will help! Thank you.

If you google you can find a very good recipe for pizza using cauliflower as the crust! My sister and I did flat bread pizzas. I used whole grain wheat and always had a good number. I just loaded it up with cheese and veggies.

There's a flat bread you can buy not sure of the brand.... (my fil eats it) he loads them with veggies, cheese.. meat whatever you want on your pizza and bakes them in the oven. SO GOOD. I think they are called skinny girl... or something like that.

I got away with the california pizza kitchen crispy thin frozen pizzas when I was pregnant and I make pizza muffins now pp. Whole wheat english muffins with pizza sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni!

I am 32 weeks and can still get pretty decent numbers with pizza. I can eat two regular (small) pieces or 3 thin crust pieces. I have it at least once every two weeks! You could try it and see because you might be surprised. But what works for one person can send others numbers soaring!

I got thin crust from papa murphys. I would have 2 slices of the large and pair it with a salad. Always had numbers in the limits. :-)

I make my own pizza Im a pizza lover!!! Do whole grain + whole wheat thin crust, low fat cheese, lots of protein topping and veggies, a normal sized pizza portion and my numbers are fine. Try it

Domino's thin crust doesn't make my numbers that high. Add lots of cheese and protein. 2 pieces with a salad hits the spot!
