Diagnosed with GDM yesterday.

Question

Anyone find it difficult to follow the GD diet Plan?Im working from office everyday in the central and honestly its very hard to follow the GD diet. Im lunching with my colleagues everyday. Those food will cause my blood sugar to spike. How do those working mum cope with your GD diet when you are in office ? Do you still lunch with your colleagues ?

I still eat with colleagues but limit my choice of food. Example I’ll get western meal (chicken chop) with 2 side dishes of veg. Try to stack more protein n fats rather than carbs. I find that it helps

yes, it was a real challenge for me when I had it. My colleagues were understanding but I tried to excuse myself to lunch alone sometimes so that I can have healthier lunch options without sugar level spiking or pack lunch back to office. Had to bite the bullet for the sake of the baby. Just remind yourself it'll be over soon. all the best!
