So disappointed. ...officially have gestational diabetes
Just got the call from OB.......I'm 20+1 with twin boys. My mfm did glucose test early and I failed the 1hr test. Because my results were over 200 I was diagnosed with GD and told to bypass the 3hr test.....I don't see my mfm or ob until next week. Is there any other ladies on here who.had GD and everything came out well? What foods should I eat and what should I stay away from?.....freaking out a lot that I may have done harm to my babies

Try googling diets for gestational diabetes. I personally have not experienced this. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Sorry to hear that. It can be disappointing but don't let it bother you. I have GD and this is the best way to look at it. You can eat as much meat/seafood as you want. All your doing is limiting your carbs. Stay away or portion rice, corn, potatoes which are considered your heavy starches and replace it with veggies and healthy snacks. I thought I would be hungry all the time with the diet but I'm not at all and I'm 30+4. You are constantly eating your 3 meals and 3 snacks each day. Inbox me if your have questions. I'll be glad to help :-)

I had GD. It was a pain to do the testing four times per day and record everything I ate, but otherwise it was fine. My boys always measured small though so the MFM wasn't concerned about the GD. After a couple of weeks of testing, they told me I didn't need anymore appointments to check up on the GD and I could just do the blood tests occasionally. My boys were totally healthy when they were both at 37w3d.

Tha k you ladies. I see my dr next week so I want to see what he tells me. I believe I may need to see a nutritionist to see what I can and can't eat.

TBH....I didn't eat anything different. I just made sure to pay a lot of attention to my portion size and drank either 1 soda or glass of sweet a day and water the rest of the time.
I had my babies at 36 weeks and 4 days 6lbs 9 and 6 lbs 3.
They are a year old TODAY!

I had GD with my first pregnancy and currently have it now with this pregnancy. I had it from beginning to end and my first baby turned out completely fine. Just stick to the diet they tell you to eat and you and your babies should be fine.
