Thank you! I never would have thought of that! I’ll look at the facebook group now! Xx
And carbs unfortunately aren’t your best friend. It takes a while to get to grips with the diet but the Facebook group and website the Rachael mentioned are an amazing form of support and advice! X
You will also have the dietitian who will go throw foods to eat and to avoid
Once you get your testing kit and your measuring your sugars, it then a bit trial and error. I seem to able to eat pasta fine, but I can’t even look at a potato or bread. Fruit is also a big issue for me
@Naomi lucky you, at the moment my readings are all over the place, I think being so stressed is contributing to it
It’s taken me 6 weeks to get on the right medication, it just takes time.
@Naomi I only have 9 and a half weeks left as I’m 31 weeks! Hope it doesn’t take 6 weeks! 😂😂 thank you for all your advice!
I had it with my first just jumping on here and saying a walk after a meal did wonders to keep my sugars down!
