Don't beat yourself up too badly over it, I'm in the same boat as you... I don't really overeat, and the things that I do eat, I think out and try to make healthy meals, but I still ended up with gestational diabetes. Unfortunately, it's just something that happens because of all of the weird things that happen in pregnancy. I've learned to just go with it...
That being said, I was advised to count how many grams of carbs that I take in and what foods contain them.
Happy birthday! Mom took me to the store got me a tub of ice cream and a banana walnut cake too take home. And making meat loaf , mashed potatoes , corn , mac n cheese for dinner. Yum!
I can't get enough of honey nut cherrios or the honey kix with cold milk strawberry and banana!
(net carbs is total carbs minus fiber carbs.) A snack is sometimes suggested to be 15 net carbs. (Yum, chunk of cheese and handful of pecans!) Offhand I dont know the net carb of an apple but you can look that up and think about it.
When the sugar levels in your blood are too high, the blood becomes abrasive to your body.
If you eat all of your carbs all at once, your blood sugar will go higher than if you ration it out over the course of a day.
I had (1) raisen bagel with jelly,milk and (1) banana and calculated the calories and its seems really high 458 calories is that right? Anyone have some input?
What is everyones little one? Mine is a banana almost a carrot :) 20w 6d!!! Its going by fast!
Are you scared of carbs because of weight gain or you have like a phobia? If its due to the possibility of gaining weight, chill out babe. I went for a few years totally avoiding carbs and I lost weight! I ended up going through a bit of depression and started not caring about weight gain. Gained about 10 kilo's Now I'm on a diet and having some carbs. I feel much fuller and healthier for introducing it to my diet. I'm still losing weight. Slowly though because I am type 1 diabetic.
Just over one hour after eating two jelly toasts, Powerbar, banana and apple with orange juice and skim milk it had dropped to 93 and 95!!! I am not diabetic but since it runs in my family I am keeping tabs on my b.g. This seems odd. What is going on?
The best way to control type 2, which is a problem with hgh insulin / insulin resistance resulting in inability to tolerate carbs is by reducing the amounts of carbs you eat (particularly grains, and starches) and avoiding sugar in all forms (added, and in fruits).
