[QUOTE="elaine77, post: 383648, member: 59930"] I had GD too and it went away and came back but from what you have said all I can say is that in my experience jacket potato and beans nd toast are all terrible for most people's BS and would push mine up massive! Beans are really carby and sugary though u wudnt think it and the only potatoes I can deal with are small new potatoes but some people can't even manage them. I would make sure the bread u are eating is granary or wholegrain and not wholemeal as wholemeal is a trick and is just as bad as white bread for BS. When I was pregnant (and even now) I go for low(ish) carb and high fat diet which works well. I eat loads of cheese, meat, butter, veg, limit the fruit, and I'm even ok with the odd biscuit or packet or crisps aslong as I eat nothing else with them. My morning levels are always too high so i tend to have cheerios or weetabix (both low GI) and this usually brings me down to about 5.6 mmol 2hours later. The key is to keep testing 2 hours after eating to check what foods keep u in a good range and which don't :-) hope this helps. Diagnosed with GD in 2010, Completely disappeared postpartum. Re-diagnosed December 2012 with type 1.5 diabetes, age 26, BMI 23 currently controlled by only Metformin, 500mg twice a day. [/QUOTE]
