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

Pls don’t worry about it. GD is too common among pregnant ladies, including myself too. I didn’t had diabetes before pregnant. But when I found out about it from my gynae, I was advised not to eat too much sweet stuffs (doesn’t need to be fully strict if you have some cravings). And try to use the device to monitor the sugar levels daily. Nothing to feel depress about it. Just carry on with what you usually do but consume lesser sugary food & beverages will do. Take lesser white rice and opt for brown rice if you can. Take care, we did it so can you too.
