Eat more fibre rich food at every meal like veggie! helps to prevent sugar spikes. Usually if u have GD u need to do finger prick for blood sugar monitoring then u can see what causes your sugar to spike. Everyone's body reacts differently.

I had GD during pregnancy too and don’t worry too much about it. Just take a balance diet, watch your sugar (and carbs) intake. In fact I feel that having GD helps me eat a healthier diet which is good for my baby. I cut away all the unhealthy cravings.

i had GB during pregnancy i tried as much to control my sugar intake plus walking before and after meals helps a lot.
