Gestational diabetes

following as i’m also struggling with this

I am changing a lot of my diet. Egg bites for breakfast or fruit with granola with plain yogurt, some kind of my favorite veggies possibly as lunches. You got this!!!

I’ll find out Friday if I have it or not. So I’m following along as well.

Lots of protein, cheese is my savior. Whole grains and veggies. Walk or move for at least 10 minutes after you eat. If you want something sweet, make sure to eat in between meals

I take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar every morning on an empty stomach, and that’s helped me a lot.

I had gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy and not this one. The main things I still do after following “The Glucose Goddess” book are to avoid any sweet/ high carb breakfast (avoid just having cereal/oatmeal or just bread but instead opt for a savory breakfast containing protein/ healthy fats), try to not have desserts on an empty stomach, having 1 tbsp of pasteurized apple cider vinegar with a tall glass of water before any higher carb meal, and always having a veggie starter and protein before carbs during meals. Exercise also of course helps maintain blood sugars stable.

Not looking at sugar intake but carbs is what they told me when I got diagnosed. I have been doing that and my # are working range. Also eating more often I would only eat 3 meals no snacks. Now I eat 3 meals plus 3 snacks.

I failed my 1 hour badly! With my first, I barely passed and had to take the three hour. So now I have to take the three hour test, preparing by eating better and walking more to regulate things better.
