glucose test

I Google about the health complication and risk that GD will bring to me and my baby, and I couldn’t be more determined to control my diet. For me, it was not that difficult to go through the diet and I learn a lot through this journey. And is all about discipline and choices. I eat small and frequent meals , choosing healthier carbo like whole meal, brown nice. I can continue to eat my favourite pasta but to lookout for the sauce I pick. I get to eat alot of protein and veggie to substitute the carbo. I don’t like sugary stuffs (pastries, dessert etc) but sometime if I have craving, I take 1 bite to curb the crave. Sometime I still do drink BBT, but I only drink 1/4 cup with 25% sugar no toppings. This is just to curb the crave only. All these is trial and error by pricking the finger to see whether the glucose will spike after eating anot. Whenever I feel like eating something sinful, I will think of my baby and the crave will be gone. By controlling diet for 3 months, I really manage to bring down the AC (adominal circumference) of my baby from near 95percentile to the 50th percentile. It gives me such a sense of achievement that I can do something for my baby even before she is born. You can do it mummy. Its all for you and your baby sake .
