Gestational Diabetes

Hi all! I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes and have no idea what I should be eating... Those who have or have had it, what do you recommend for meals & snacks?? I work full-time so I need things that are quick, easy and pack well. Thanks!!

  • There's a weekly GD check-in on this board, I think I saw it just yesterday so take a look at some of the past posts and you might find it.

    But...in one of the posts, someone shared this link, and it's a really great resource. Hope it helps get you started!

  • The Babycenter post linked above is EXTREMELY helpful, and the GD check-in thread here on A14 is also great.

    The diet takes a little more planning, but you will get the hang of it quickly! I'm eating a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, Greek yogurt and an occasional treat to stay within my carb ranges at meals and snacks. I'm also meeting with a nutritionist next week, which I think will help even more.

    Good luck!
