AccuChek Instant 1st day readings

Hi. Had my OGTT last week and was diagnosed with GDM. Started on my 1st readings today and noticed the readings are not between acceptable range. (4.4mmol/L - 6.6mmol/L) Any mummies going through the same? Please give advices on how I can maintain it better. 😢 #1stimemom #advicepls

did your gynae advise you on anything? or refer you to a dietician? diet control should be able to bring the numbers down, and eating 3 meals + 3 snacks would help too. and of course what you eat matters as well. for me, i only ate low-gi bread w pure peanut butter for breakfast. will alternate between PB and a sunny side up. lunch + dinner, i actually try and eat brown rice whenever i can and actually weigh it. chicken breast, lean meat and leafy veg are good too :) it’s only your first week! dont be too hard on yourself. my first week was a trial and error week to see what spikes and doesn’t spike my numbers. oh, and go for walks after meals helps too :) good luck!
