Gestational Diabetes Help (NicciLove?)

[vixforever]

Could you please tell me a basic amounts of what I can eat in the day and what I can have, my levels this afternoon after dinner are 8.1 and should be 7.8 but admitedly I did have a bag of maltesers this morning as it totally went over my head

 

[vixforever]

I am soooo hungry!

 

[NicciLove]

Sorry hun i havent been on!

I dont think there is a limit on how much you consume to affect your result, its what you eat and how soon after (ie your body processing the sugars)

What did you have for dinner? and how long after did you test?

 

[NicciLove]

Sorry im rubbish at wording things

"I dont think there is a limit on how much you consume to affect your result"

im talking food not sugar. If you ate lettuce leaves all day it would not affect them but if you sat there eating mars bars all day then obviously . . . . lol sorry im so bad at wording things

Lol

I only ate some soup and some bread with some dairylea, wasnt that hungry if I'm honest!! Was probably the maltesers that did it!

 

[NicciLove]

it wouldnt suprise me if the dairylea had sugar in it but dont really eat it so not sure, maybe have a quick check of the packet.

That's not too much over so depending on what time you had the (naughty) maltesers xxx

Yes it was white bread. I cannot stomach brown bread thinking of switching to that 50/50 bread to see if that will help?? I just had two slices of toast and some peanut butter on top, will post the results in an hour

It was 7.8 and my target post-meal blood glucose range is less than 7.8 mmols

I would check peanut butter, I think there is a lot of sugar in that

I found it such a shock watching all my foods at first and felt like i was hungry all the time but it does get easier

its just about what you eat and you do have to take it seriously otherwise they might put you on insulin tablets or injections (they did me and i only had 2 readings over 7.8!) i was not a happy bunny
