So i was diagnosed with gestational diabetes 3 weeks ago and given a strict diet with testing blood sugar 4 times daily i have to write down everything i eat and the carb amounts. Well i had a check up and she said my blood sugar is too low and i need to eat more but not above my carb limit! Like seriously! And then she talked about maybe being misdiagnosed!!!
I have heard low carb works wonders for fertility. Over-indulging in sweets can lead to being overweight, which is often a big part of infertility problems.
Oh, and I also read somewhere to stay away from Green Peas.
That's all i can think of.
t like them cooked, but boy, right out of the field from a farmer, they are so DELICIOUS uncooked, eaten straight out of the pod. Ditto sugar-snap peas, the kind where you eat the crunchy, sweet pod. And don't overlook V8 -- they have all kinds of mixes now that taste good especially over ice. (If you like Bloody Marys, you can find a lot to like in V8.

My doctor did say that if I could not bring my glucose and A1C down, we would have to look at injectibles. He told me go very low carb or carb free diet. Which I am doing.
I did feel hungry at first, the first few days. Now not so much, I hardly think about food. I was just wondering if after 2 weeks that is enough time to see some better results. I know it took time for me to get to this level.
My husband and I are splurging tonight it's our one year anniversary so if we go to our favorite place it will be mozzarella sticks his favorite and salad and hamburger for me lol
1. Low-Carb Flat Breads
Low-carb flat breads, including mission tortillas, contain about 30 grams of protein each, making them a great source of protein for vegetarians to choose as part of their diet.
2. Chick Peas
Chick peas are a food that is full of protein. These beans have 16 grams of protein per 200 gram serving. This is by far one of the best sources of protein for vegetarians.
3. Kidney Beans
Coming in third, kidney beans provide 15 grams of protein per 200 gram serving.
( a typical lunch for me would include 2 oz turkey breast, handful of carrots, handful of raw snap peas, a string cheese and grapes... )
I just don't want it to hinder my workout performance (they'be been my addiction for 5 years now)
I think my body just needs to get used to working on less fuel, so to speak.

Recently feeling lightheaded around 1hr after meals, or after 4-5hrs from my previous meal, got concerned with my blood sugar level and went to doctor, ran my blood test (which I believe is a random blood test) got normal results for blood sugar and thyroid.
But I got myself a blood glucose meter. Normally have a fasting blood glucose at 92-95mg/ml (5.1-5.3mmol).
I have been a diabetic now for 6 months, after going into a Diabetic Coma and DKA (my sugar was over 700 and I quit breathing) on July 31, 2015. Sugar was 70 in Dec 2014 and elevated in March.
My question is this: I live alone, have no children by choice, family is out of state, and I am at a loss for what I can eat. I just figured out that my body likes weenies and beans. But I need some more help as to what to cook.
And, 37 grams of carbs is not high and not all carbs ride around on RB cells as excess glucose. The liver and muscle cells take carb sugar and converts it into glycogen. Glycogen is released for energy when needed.
Furthermore, a danger of too low carb diet can cause the body to go into a dangerous metabolic state called ketosis since your body burns fat instead of glucose for energy.
You deffinantly need some carbs but reduce how many you eat and see if that helps. Meats are carb free most cheeses some sugar free stuff is low in carbs but not always carb free. That is a big mistake sometimes people make thinking that just because its sugar free its ok but sometimes sugar free stuff is still loaded with carbs. Example i was going to buy peeps for her for easter they were sugar free but still loaded with 28 carbs.
TEST. If you are ill, drink lots of liquids(preferably sugar-less or low sugar drinks) and TEST often, especially if you have a fever.
3rd. If you don’t know how to count carbohydrates then learn it from your Dietician(get a referral from your Dr.)(Endo preferably)who you will be seeing since you have all this spare time. ;o) Carbs get stored in your body and is turned into glucose which your liver shoots out if you get lows.
This is easy -- anything that doesn't include gluten. Gluten is found in certain grains (and hidden in many processed foods), so any meal without those grains and you have lunch. This means all meat, all beans, all vegetables, all dairy, eggs, everything you've always eaten minus the gluten containing grain. If you want pasta, use brown rice pasta, for example. If you want bread, any grain not containing gluten.
First off, have you had your thyroid checked to make sure it's functioning properly? Hypothyroidism not only causes weight gain, it can cause miscarriage, difficulty conceiving and a lot of other symptoms.. Ask your doctor to test TSH, Free T3 and Free T4.
I do have some input, but you probably won't like it.
Was the bagel with jelly, milk and banana for one meal?
