Avatar f tn I had a very hard time adjusting to a new diet. I got the hang of it and have really low numbers now. This is my third pregnancy and first time having GD.
Avatar f tn Berries and melon and apple in small portions should be ok though. Most of your food should be unsweetened diary (such as cheese is ok), meats, nuts, avocado, non-starchy veges. Test your blood sugar frequently. You would also need to learn Ask your Dr. to refer you to a diabetes educator as well. IF you really can't get it down, may you should ask your Dr. to put you in the hospital where they can help you control your sugars. Best wishes.
231441 tn?1333892766 Lately I have been having frequent violent sneezing (many times a day), with intermittent running nose and itchy face and trunk. The sneezing and running nose also wake me in the middle of the night, and I have to keep blowing my nose for a while before it settles and I can sleep again. I haven't yet been able to identify clear cause or food trigger (other than peanuts, which recently have started to clearly cause an itch and burning/flushing reaction).
Avatar f tn My doctor confirmed that I have gestational diabetes. I am 29 weeks and very upset. I didn't have to go through this with my first pregnancy. Not sure what to expect. I have additional testing and office visits. Does anyone have any experience that they can share in what to expect for the remainder if the pregnancy?
Avatar n tn I lost weight with all my pregnancies and I'm 228lb and I'm 27w1d and I haven't gained any weight yet. This is my 5th baby. But I recommend not trying to lose weight but try not to gain too much weight.
Avatar n tn t worry so much about sugars) and limit your self to 45g of carbs at meal time (breakfast lunch dinner) hopefully they have you meeting with a nutritionist to give you meal ideas and tell you what food is considered free food (food you can have unlimited) which will make it easier to cook and you won't feel like you are starving! Hope this helps some!
Avatar f tn This is my third pregnancy and I will occasionally snack on chips and candy.
Avatar f tn Pretzel thins are a good snack but only if you have one serving.. dont eat them all day also hummus is good to eat during pregnancy. You can eat veggies and hummus for a snack.. don't eat dip its not good for you. Hummus is delicious nutritious and not too bad for you. Try eating veggie burgers I love them.. I eat one for lunch everyday! Def try some of these things.. fruit vegetables spinach salad is great for you.
Avatar m tn I'm in my third trimester and was curious since my baby has taste buds, and his little body is much mature now is spicy food still safe. I don't wanna burn my son's mouth. And btw it's realllll spicy!!
88793 tn?1290227177 (Atacand is belongs to the group of ARB). My GP agreed that. My GP also said many and most of the diabetes patient also on that. Atacand is for the prevention of kidney failure. I just wish to know is that true? Are you all diabetes sufferers on ARB or Atacand? What is your doctor said?
Avatar m tn Hi. Sorry for this issue you have to deal with. Pregnancy is a great thing though so hope you are enjoying it otherwise. Did you have both glucose tests? I triggered a reading in the diabetic range the first 2 hour test. (I ate a sandwich before the test, oops) and then had to do the confirming test of 4 hours glucose test. That was about zero fun, I'll tell you. But with that one, my blood sugar was normal (I fasted properly). You've had both tests and your sugar is still high?
1399124 tn?1401020004 I just met with the gest. diabetes clinic yesterday and got my meter and food chart and all that. When the dietician was going over starches, she didn't focus on eliminating white processed flour, but I will. All the processed grain, even most whole wheat is processed, with a little wheat to make it brown. Sprouted whole grain is best, and if u can, cut out sugars completely. That's the most important thing.
Avatar f tn This is my second pregnancy & I recently tested for diabetes & test came back positive. Im really worried. How did I get diabetes? What will happen to my baby? What do I need to do so this wont affect my baby?
Avatar f tn I try not to eat too many sweets right now but this week I found that I get really weak and sick and i try eating bananas and other food but then i just get worst. but if i eat something sugary it goes away.. I call my baby my sugar baby because of it... Sometimes berries help as an alternative and i have been trying to have say a granola bar instead of chocolate... but why do i feel so sick and weak if I avoid sugar?
Avatar f tn Thanx a lot it really helped m not a big junk food eater already but I m planning on sticking with oatmeal for rest of weeks.
468836 tn?1215476116 We do have a food tracker and an allergy tracker on our list of trackers to add. We're not sure when these will be available, but we'll let you know when it is. Thanks for the suggestion!
Avatar n tn Has anyone ever been diagnosed so early in pregnancy with Gestational Diabetes and then tested normal after the baby was born? I actually failed the one hour at 14 weeks. Strange thing is I ran across my old questions in this forum while doing a search, and My numbers were high during this stage of my pregnancy, but by the time I had my test at 28 weeks, they were very normal for the 1 hr glucose. No 3 hour was ever done. My first test during my last pregnancy was at 9 weeks which was normal.
Avatar f tn well i got digestinal diabetes while pregnant and my question is after i have the baby how do i know if the diabetes goes away do u eat normally like u ate before and check ure sugars to see if your body responds or do u keep yourself on the diet u have been and for how long after, also what could happen if u eat sweets right after delivery (craving cheese cake and icescream for the longest time)???
Avatar f tn Anyone with diabetes and pregnant.?. So I'm on the pump and latter this after noon I realized my sugar was staying elevated. (260) Now I check it it's 396 and this is as high as it's ever been sense being pregnant I'm flipping out because I don't want it to hurt my baby but my bf is saying it's OK cause this is the first time ever being this high. Advice? I'm nervous and scared.
Avatar f tn Haha I hate diabetes and being pregnant. I'm hormonal as is and when my sugar gets a little low I'm a raging witch! It makes me laugh after but at the time everybody's like hey go eat some candy and shush. At least we're healthy for the most part here tho. She's not to big or small fluids good heart rates great. Can't wait till I can get rid of these dang hormones tho.
Avatar f tn Sometimes pregnancy and hormones can make diabetes flare up and throw your sugars off. When you are high the baby is high. Extra careful diet will be required and maybe extra insulin. Lots of people have babies with Type II but it's how they manage the two that makes the difference.
Avatar f tn I do with this pregnancy. Mine is diet controlled. Most likely it will go away after delivery.
Avatar f tn I went to the My Dr. appt. Today And they Gave me my Glucose Tolarence Test Results, and it looks like I Have Gestational Diabetes (GD). It's Been Very Hard To Keep A Great Diet In This pregnancy. Does anyone else have GD and are having a Hard Time with this? I'm 27 weeks. With My last pregnancy I did so good didn't gain any weight, and with this pregnancy I've already gained almost 20lbs.
1574695 tn?1322590597 I am 5 w & 4 days pg, and my dr said to come off my metformin until I see a diabetes/pregnancy dr, but last year I was pregnant and sadly we lost the baby, that dr said to keep taking my metformin, anyone else getting conflicting info?
1666434 tn?1325262350 I am 36 years old so I am over the magic number in pregnancy of age 35. Because of this, I was informed by my doctor I have a greater risk of acquiring gestational diabetes during my pregnancy. My question is how or what can I do to prevent this? What changes can I make in the food I eat to avoid this? I don't have a history of diabetes on my side of the family and have never had an issue with this, but I do want to take whatever preventative measures I can to decrease my risk.
