Diabetes

Hi mummies. I’m a first time mum in my third trimester. I’ve been controlling my diet since I got pregnant now at 31 weeks I’m suddenly diagnosed with diabetes. The problem is I’ve never consumed any sweet drinks or have a sweet tooth. I failed 1 out of 3 of the tests I took and now I have to monitor my blood sugar level and prick my finger 7 times a day. I know that certain foods has natural sugars in them. And my doctor did say that stress and genetics is one of the reasons for this. Anyone has any meal plans I can share with me? Also, having heavy anxiety cause I’m running out of time and I don’t want this to affect my baby or how I give birth.

Hi. I have GD too and my sugar level has been good. I realised that carbs are one of my biggerst culprit. So i avoid carbs. I only eat basmati rice once a day. No sugar drinks at all. And daily 30 minutes walk at least. It will help.
