Gestational diabetes

I just got a call from KKH. I am having GD. This is my 4th pregnancy and I never had GD before.Im at my 26 week now. I'm lost and I don't know what to eat right now. I'll be meeting the nurse and dietician only next week. The nurse over the phone told me food that I should avoid for now, but my mind is totally blank. I feel so depressed with the news . #advicepls

Hi its okay, I'm also diagnosed gdm and I'm now in week 37 of my pregnancy! it's not your fault or anything,it's just hormones at play. Here are some suggestions which worked for me: 1. Breakfast is the easiest to spike, so keep it well paired with protein and fats (e.g. sandwich/crackers with egg and avocado is the best!) 2. Limit your portion of carbs for each meal. make sure u eat vegetables and protein before starting on carbs 3. Fried stuff and sauce items typically are high carbs, so try to reduce them! you can do it! don't worry:)
