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.

I have GD too and pricking fingers and checking glucose level is the easiest way to know whether the food is ok or bad to eat. Carbo is the biggest culprit for me. Go for pasta, brown rice, Basmati rice , wholegrain, oats. Eat more protein (meat) and veggie instead. Avoid all sugary stuffs. Prata and mee siam is a killer! (According to my glucose kit). Don’t be stress . You can do it.
