Snack ideas please (and hello!)

[tiamai_d]

I was told on Friday that my GTT came back as 9.4 and the fasting bloods before the glucose drink (which I didn't manage to finish due to it really wanting to make a re-appearance!) were high also.

Up on Tuesday to collect my kit (I get a monitor, at least I saw the boxes when I had my GTT) and see the dietitian etc. Been told for now to avoid sugary snacks and high sugar content food, the basics basically.

I know how to make a main meal that is low in sugar but what I am struggling with is snacks. What snacks can I have that won't send my sugar levels crazy?

This is pretty out the blue for me, I am just over 32 weeks pregnant and was being closely monitored as I have had pre-eclampsia twice with eclampsia and a placentral abruption in my last pregnancy, so GD was not expected!!! First time I was induced at 35 weeks, second time an emergency c section at 33 weeks. Babies were 5lb5oz and 5lb12oz respectively. Although it explains why I have been dizzy, blurry vision, visual upsets and headaches but each time I have had pre-eclampsia bloods done they have been fine. BP is only borderline high too (means I have gotten further in this pregnancy than in the other two without BP shooting up).

You can get meaty snacks from supermarket which are nice - flavoured chicken bits and the like, or pepperami etc. I also snack on cheese. Otherwise a single cream cracker with peanut butter worked wonders during the first trimester for me! Otherwise like hanadr said, veggie bits (with a nice dip).
