Gestational diabetes

I was diagnosed with GD at 24 weeks, this my first pregnancy and my love for sweets, the first week upon knowing the news was pretty devastating and depressing. I’m at 26 weeks now, it’s more or less under control. I prick everyday to find out what works. Here’s some stuff that worked, 1) weigh your food , don’t over eat (i.e. carbs 50-100g, potato chips 15g, 100ml orange juice), 2) eat every 2 hours, 3) drink a lot of water - I found water is the key, it fills my hunger, allow me to stay hydrated and dilute my blood. I drink at least 1 litre after every bigger meal, 4) 10 mins walk after every meal. Hope this helps you in finding a system that works for you! Good luck.
