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.

The dietician will advise you on this. Basically cut down on sugar & carbo but switch to brown rice, pasta, whole meal. Replace carbs with veggie and protein (eg: meat). You need to take note how you cook your meat as well (eg: deep fry, sweet sour, sweet gravy all these won’t work). Your high result is not because you didn’t cut down on ur sugar intake before ur OGTT test. It is a result of the body inability during pregnancy to make enough insulin to breakdown the glucose (insulin resistance), hence the high result. Therefore, we need to control what we eat to keep the glucose level healthy.
