Any other mommas have gestational diabetes? What’s your favorite meal/snack?

rice krispy treats and churros

@brittanymhestehave, uhhhhhh she doesn’t want the diabetus. I think these snacks will put her blood sugar through the roof.

@cams, she ask what our favorite snack is and thats my favorite

@brittanymhestehave, do you have GD?

I think you missed the point though

@cams, i hope i dont because all i eat is junk and desserts my GD test is aug 6 i will be 26 weeks so i hope i dont.I notice now if i dont have something sweet i get weak

and now i get really swollen in the hands

@brittanymhestehave, I’m just confused because she asked for snack ideas from other mothers with gd and you suggested sugary snacks 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@brittanymhestehave probably a sign that you should chill with the sweets.

@cams, lol i love sweets 🍭 now that im pregnant i cant control myself i cant even eat dinner i would rather have ice cream

i know im terrible and need to stop

I don’t have gd but I know if you’re looking for carbs that are good for sustaining your blood sugar levels, brown rice and sweet potatoes. Snack wise I would think just healthy stuff? Veggies with hummus, string cheese, pb, some fruits (berries are lower in sugar).. maybe someone that actually has GD can pop in and help you out. 😂😂😂

Yeah, controlled it with diet. Discharged now. But I still keep an eye on it until bubs is here.

I ate pretty normally, bread was the devil so swapped that for oat cakes. Cut out full fat milk and stuck to almond or skimmed.

And ate small portions of rice and pasta etc.

I noticed as got further along I could eat anything! Which was great!!

My fav breakfast was feta, spinach and parma ham omelettes.

Fav lunch big juicy salads with parma ham or chicken.

Fav dinners rice and black eyed beans and chicken.

I would advise to always have veg with every meal and to eat slowly so you body has time to process the food. Also lots of water.

Be careful with your sugar intake because they’ll put you on meds. I personally hate meds.

Sweet treats, greek yoghurt with fruits, mango, banana pineapple. Snack on apples, watermelons are awesome sweet and 96% water!! Raw nuts BUT NOT dried fruit!

Good quality ice cream, but control your portions.

How often are you checking your blood? I had to check every two hours.

@memybumpandi, thank you for all the good ideas! I just found out on Friday that I have it and I’m still waiting to see the nutritionist and all that. For now I’m just trying to eat lots of veggies and small healthy/low carb meals. The hardest thing for me has been to cut out cereal 😩

@brittanymhestehave, I wish I could have those! Lol

@cams, thank you!

@memybumpandi, thank you for the yummy meal ideas!

@dickensbe, there are alternatives for everything don’t panic. Its not as hard as folk make out.
