[QUOTE="RaeDawn, post: 1103697, member: 282753"] Thanks Azure- I'll try both a man hour and 2h post food for a few days &discuss with doc. I did see the dietician but wasn't overly convinced with what she said! My normal diet is so healthy anyway and she was suggesting more carbs and desserts in moderation, but that's what I had been doing anyway & it'd led to diabetes so I feel like I have to change to keep sugars steady for baby. I kept asking if the grams of carbs she were suggesting were the same for everyone or if it was height / weight adjusted & she didn't seem to know but I'd reason a tall broad lady may need more food than a short slight one! So far by eating well all the readings have been ok- though if I eat breakfast at 7am I get better readings than if I eat at 8.30, even with identical meals- i think I just need to eat more nuts and good fats to keep the calorie levels high enough for baby. You mentioned macronurtients- any advice on what carbs are best would be ace- am trying lentils, sweet potatoes, wholemeal granary breads, brown rice, shredded wheat and beans/chickpeas mainly and avoiding white potato, white bread/rice, pasta, and now porridge (as porridge seems to give me a glucose spike which is a shame!) I'll update about the fluids after my scan tomorrow- am a bit anxious still but I guess there is only so much I can do. Thank you again so much - Rae x [/QUOTE]
