Failed OGTT.

I recently went for my OGTT, found out the result was very high and been told to have a healthy balance diet. I'm really clueless as to what I'm suppose to look out for, Yes the obvious is sugar intake but honesty, I've cut down alot on my sugar way before pregnancy so I still find it impossible that the result were high. Anyone can help enlighten me? Like What to eat for breakfast, lunch dinner? Oh not to forget, I don't take any supplements. Folic acid makes me nausea.

Your gynae should have prescribed you supplements in 2nd trimester. It’s good to take to ensure you’ve sufficient everything. For diet: Replace white rice with brown rice, quinoa or other alternatives. For bread, choose wholemeal, soft grain, etc, you will see low GI logo on some of the packaging which means lower sugar/starch. Quit milk and replace with low / no sugar soy. Avoid starchy foods like potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. For fruits, don’t eat those with high sugar content like durians and bananas. No ice cream, cakes, chocolates, sweets. Avoid canned and packet drinks or choose low sugar options if available.
