Dietrician for GD

Hi, has anyone been to a dietrician for GD and has it been helpful? I had been researching on the internet and pricking myself after being diagnosed 3 days ago - except for 2 bloopers I had been recording less than 7mmol after every meal. The clinic has now reached out and asked that I schedule an appointment with the dietrician. Could you help to share your experience please, how helpful it has been, or if it is a waste of money and time? Thank you. #advicepls #GestationalDiabetes

Hi, I have GD too and was referred to a dietician when I was first diagnosed. I found it pretty useful. She went through with me what my usual diet was, and made recommendations on what I could continue eating and what I should eliminate. The idea was to make as minimal change as possible to my diet. She also suggested good alternatives and snack options. I highly rec seeing one!
