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 had GD too. Usually I had oatmeal, wholemeal bread, egg, lowfat milk in the morning. For lunch or dinner, i had half cup of brown rice with pork or chicken stew (i added green leafy veggies). You can have avocado for snack. It helped my baby grow even when i'm dieting.
