I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes about 2 1/2 weeks ago and I haven't had one high number yet. I'm so proud of myself!
I'm planning on going to the movies with some friends and I'm trying to plan ahead for wanting to snack during the movie. I know that I'm allowed to have 3 cups of microwave popcorn for one carb serving. Does anyone know if the movie theater popcorn is the same? I was thinking about smuggling in a baggie of microwave popcorn, but there's just something about that movie theater popcorn! I looked up the nutritional facts on the movie theater's website and it says that one cup of the popcorn is 5g. of carbs which would mean it's the same as the microwave kind. I just wondered if anyone has eaten it and can tell me how your numbers were afterward.
Re: GD diet--movie theater popcorn--yes or no?
With the high fat content in the oil/butter, you may see a delayed high.. Otherwise, enjoy!!
