GDM..& diabetes

Aiyoh sayang, I totally get it, GDM during first pregnancy memang stressful and frustrating, especially bila naik-turun je bacaan gula tu Dari few of us mums yang kena, yang paling membantu adalah small frequent meals instead of sekat-sekat (macam makan sikit-sikit 5-6 kali sehari) so you don't go hungry and your blood sugar stays steadier, dan focus pada protein + fibre first before carbs, even kalau it's nasi you crave. One of my mum friends swears that pairing her meals helped, like makan nasi dengan telur or ayam, plus say a small portion of leafy greens alongside, it made her readings so much better than restricting completely, sebab she wasn't starving and feeling murung after. Tapi honestly, best thing is to talk to your clinic doctor or nutritionist about a proper meal plan designed specifically for GDM, bukan sekadar "jangan makan nasi", tapi how much and how to eat it safely, sebab they can tailor it to what works for your body and your mental health too (which is so important when you're already worried). You're doing great by being mindful, just make sure you're not suffering unnecessarily, okay?
