Looks like I found the GD mecca... intro!

DBride2006

Just got the call from my doctor's office. I failed the 2-hour and have been diagnosed. I had GD with my son, so this is all familiar to me... just trying to refresh my memory so I can go do the grocery store and stock up on foods I can actually eat. 

Any great snacks that you've discovered?

Things I always have on hand:

Vitamuffins

Luna Bars

String Cheese

Peanut Butter and Almond Butter

Crackers

Whole grain bread

HIgh fiber fruits like oranges and apples

Easy to grab meals like Amy's freezer meals

Milk 

I also make a low-carb cheesecake that I make, slice into servings and freeze.  It comes in handy when I need a little indulgence and it fits within the carb/protein counts of my snacks.
