Got GD diagnosis today

One dr. said I passed, one said I failed so they decided I have it. I can't do the class until next week. Any general rules I should follow in the meantime? I know I shouldn't have candy or desserts. What about fruit? Do you have to eat it with a protein or is it ok on its own? Do carbs always have to be paired with protein? Am I ok with carbs as long as they are whole grains?

    For me here was the rule: 30 grams carbs at breakfast, 20 carbs for a snack, 50 carbs for lunch, 50 for dinner and 30 for a bedtime snack.  As long as I followed this I could eat a lot of different things.

    Thanks. I don't go for counseling or my meter for another week, so I want to do my best to try to eat right.

    I was told to eat normal but avoid the processed sugars before I saw my dietitian. So no candy, sugar, soda, sweet anything. Diet soda was okayed by my dietitian. It's on my free list if foods.

    It is hard to wait but by trying to get started

    I saw an RD last week and a diabetic educator today - they were both super nice and helpful!  I don't have to monitor mine yet (I'm only 14 weeks), but do have to do weekly testing at the hospital.  They told me the same - eat every few hours, f

    If you want to put pop back in, get some Zevia. It's sweetened with stevia and is zero calorie, zero carb. Plus even on the label it says it doesn't affect blood sugar. I've got root beer, creme soda, and ginger ale. They're all good and help me when I ge
