I found out I was a diabetic when i found out I was pregnant i thought the same thing that I couldn't eat anything what really does it is the carbs if you eat carbs just eat a little and no sweets at all
It may sound gross, but an old German lady told me years ago to try this when nauseous, or just for a snack. Toast am English muffin, lightly butter it, spread cottage cheese on it, then drizzle a little orange marmalade. You get your carbs, protein, and a little sweetness. It worked for all of my pregnancies when nothing else would.
sojo, are they not sending you to a dietician for advise? The advise you got here was good, but a dietician will actually factor in your weight, your level of physical activity, and your blood sugar levels and design a diet for you complete with amounts to eat at what times during the day.
Today I tested when I woke up (112), after breakfast of an English muffin and a hard boiled egg (176) then again after lunch of a turkey sandwich (198). No snacks, only water to drink. So, I am guessing I had too many carbs? Each test was 2hrs after I ate.
Anyway - just looking for info about testing and what to expect. Thanx!
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.
My husband believes he consumed an English muffin that had blood on it. It was from a fast-food restaurant. There was only a few seconds from preparation to consumption. He left the wrapper on as he was eating it. After a few bites, he noticed that the entire bottom of the muffin was covered in what looked like blood. He has on open cut on his gum and lip. He is very worried that he may have been exposed to HIV. I need to reassure him that this is not a risk of exposure.

Yes I agree!! Loovveeee breakfast sandwiches. . Bagel, biscuit, english muffin. . Doesnt matter, I love them All!
I typically have either an apple or english muffin for breakfast. Most days I will have a home prepared latte so that equals one cup of milk and 30 calories for the international syrup I've been using. The actual coffee I use says it doesn't have calories. So I usually eat around 220 to 300 calories for breakfast. Unless I have tea, which I do about twice a week.
Lunch is often a salad or crackers, cheese, and meet. So again its about 300 to 350 calories for lunch.
Just making my pumpkin spice deaf coffee with pumpkin spice creamer OMG I love this time of year! What you ladies having to eat? I'm thinking an English muffin with some eggs and some fruit? Hmm idk but I'm starving and trying to eat a little healthier lol...
Usually for a pre-run breakfast, I have a whole wheat english muffin, with peanut butter and jelly, and a glass of skim milk. I also notice, by the way, that even in the mornings that I don't run, 1 unit of insulin covers only 10 grams of carbs, whereas 1 unit in the afternoon or evening covers 20 grams of carbs. My insulin to carb ratio is half that of the morning as in the afternoon.
For breakfast I usually have a whole wheat English muffin or tortilla with peanut butter, and half a banana if in the tortilla. Snack I usually have milk with protein powder. Lunch salad with toast or crackers. Dinner stir fry or pasta. Just find what works for you, and watch the amounts of carbohydrates. Once you get used to it it's really not that bad. This is my second pregnancy with GD. Timing is important too...
I am eating really healthy snacks and stuff so I wont gain a ton of weight. Yesterday I was craving whole wheat English muffin with mashed avocado and I wanted to wait till I picked up my kids from school till I went to the store to get it. by the time I made it to the store I was shaking and light headed I was so hungry. When the Vons cashier asked me to enter in my phone # I could hardly remember it let alone enter it! Who knew I would become so starving in such a short time?!
I was toasting an english muffin the other morning to make a ham and melted cheddar cheese sandwich and left the kitchen for a second, came back and my husband had just popped the last of the ham in his mouth. I was so devastated I had tears in my eyes and had to blink them back so he wouldn't get on my case for crying about food... He felt really bad and couldn't believe I was that sad about it...
Pretty ridiculous right?
In the beginning I used to ask hubby to make me a toasted English muffin with a lil jam to eat around 4 am. It helped curb the sickness I would get from having an empty stomach every morning. Maybe try to have a lil something on your night stand to eat when you get up to pee like I do so many times all night lol. It also may help to figure out what odors in your home tend to trigger your gagging. For me, even moving air from a fan would set me off. It's a rough row to hoe as they say.
