Thanks! Me too ? I know I can't do it everyday but I can at least indulge once a week or so ☺️

That's great im glad you were able to have something besides eggs ?

Okay, so I had 1/2 a cup of Raisin Bran (1/2 the recommended serving size) with a small amount of milk and 4 small sausage patties. My blood sugar at 1 hr was 140 (which at 1 hr I should be 140 and under). So that was a good experiment ? At least I was able to indulge in some much wanted cereal ?

I hope it works! Fingers crossed for you ?

Ayla.. I tried that this morning so I will see how my blood sugar looks in 15 minutes ???

Just curious have you tried pairing a protein with a complex carb? For example maybe a small amount of oatmeal like 1/3c with a substitute sweetener and some bacon or other breakfast meat on the side?

I'm on a GD diet but I'm relaxed with it..... i don't have to check my sugars everyday I go in for a fasting 2 hour every 2 weeks. But I've pretty much just cut out all sugary drinks upped my protein and switched my grains to whole wheat...... I cheat I eat donuts sometimes and I had a corn dog at the fair ? but I mean I'm almost 35 weeks pregnant I LOVE food even when I'm not Pregnant lol

What if you had Greek yogurt and sprinkled some cereal on top?

They said I've got GD too but I've been testing my numbers for over a week and I've had cereal and pizza a couple times and my numbers have all been under 120

@angel.. yes, I am on insulin at night before bedtime. It's supposed to help my fasting numbers but so far my numbers are still above the 90 that they want me under. They upped my dose this morning so we will see if it helps. If I can get my fasting numbers under control then I could probably get away with a bowl of cereal here and there (my insulin is long lasting - 18-24 hours, so a bowl of cereal would probably be okay once in a while).

I have GD too! Maybe find something to pair your cereal with as someone suggested. Do you have to be on medication?

I'm on my second GD pregnancy. This time around if I drink a premier or Atkins protein shake first, I can get a good number with some cereal. Maybe you could try that a few days and see how your sugar reacts? If you haven't already.

I have gd also. Im having twins so they have me on a 220 grams of carbs diet. Just wanna say my sugar has not been high since keeping track of it and i was at a friends house all they had was dr pepper so i drank a little bit cause i was so hot and thirsty and my sugar was only 88 when i checked it.

I feel ya! I already setup a date with my friend for an Olive Garden dinner, breadsticks, pasta, dessert :) I was started on insulin today so definitely counting down until delivery!

Omg I know!!! GD is soo hard!!! I'm craving donuts, pancakes, subs, Dr Pepper. I had it with my first and my first meal after delivery was a Dr Pepper and pasta. I even went and bought almond flour to make pancakes ? they were horrible. It's soo hard to stay on track but I'm very petite and don't want a c/s. So that's my daily reminder

GD is killing me too. My husband has a list of foods he's bringing me while I'm in the hospital like Olive Garden spaghetti and Dunkin' Donuts! I seriously can't wait haha

I'm there with you. I also have GD and even though I'm OK with eggs, it's def not fun having it every day. I try to make myself an omelette with a whole grain toast and some cheese or fried eggs on a low carb wrap. And my numbers afterwards are always good. I could go for some waffles right now tho yumss but it's ok, soon. Only 8 weeks left

@courtney... yes, I have to check my sugars 4 times a day ?

@ ayla... yes, my morning numbers are always my worst, especially my fasting. I have to eat a very low carb or no carb breakfast or else my after breakfast numbers are high too.

@ emb... my high risk OB didn't specify how many eggs. Since I hate them I usually only eat 2 at the most. As for the green smoothies I use fresh spinach (about a cup or so), frozen fruit, light vanilla yogurt (about 2-3 tablespoons) and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. It actually tastes really sweet and good! I was told I can also add flax seeds or chia seeds but I haven't bought any yet. There's also lots of recipes on Google for green smoothies for diabetics ?

Go on Pinterest and search keto pancakes.... they are good and low carb and can help with those cravings. I have made them a few times

Ugh. That sucks. :/

Sorry hun! It will be here soon enough! What does she say to put in your green smoothies and how many eggs are you recommend to eat a day? I thought about eating eggs, but worried about getting too much cholesterol daily.

GD sucks I have it this pregnancy too, anyways I don't always eat eggs anymore I change it a little after I had experimented with what spikes me, but with cottage cheese and blueberries, or 1 piece of toast with peanut butter, or grits with splenda, or whole grain waffle with sugar free syrup and a piece of sausage. My numbers are still on range when I'm tired of eggs. I control it with diet but I'm so sensitive in the morning with carbs.

I have GD and do not have to be on a restricted diet??? Just my metformin 2x a day? Are you ladies also checking your blood sugar daily? I dont have to do that either..

But baby is weighing perfect. She was 4 lbs 14 oz at 33 weeks.

I have GD and its sooo hard for me to not give into my cravings some time, i went and got some fruit loops from the market today and ate 2 bowls ?

Becales.. don't be sorry for me..lol. I've lost 30 lbs this pregnancy and actually feel better physically than I did pre pregnancy. I do miss some of my favorite carb/sugar foods but I know I will soon have them again ?

Cms.. BEST IDEA EVER!!! ?

I'm sorry for y'all. I'm so addicted to sugar, I couldn't handle it. You doin good for your baby!

I know! I told my family I'm going to make a list of all the foods I want brought to me at the hospital. Maybe a sign up sheet on the door!!! Lol " You want to see baby bring momma carbs!" Lol ? jk

LaciL... omg, blueberry waffles sound like heaven right now!! ?

I don't have GD but I'm on a strict (60g total per day) carb diet and I've been craving blueberry waffles since March!!!

Same here ? lol 9 weeks to go as well. We're almost there.
