[QUOTE="jopar, post: 170212, member: 11712"] How come you had a GTT so early in your pregnacy? As you go through your pregnancy you BG's may change and need medication or need insulin for the duration of your pregnancy, but they will monitor you and the baby very closely indeed... You would be surpised how high a non-diabetic blood sugar levels can spike an hour after eating something, then drop back to normal.. Carbs are an important factor in diabetic control, Take your meal, Quiche, potatoes followed by a cereal bar.. 3 forms of carbs based meals, pastry, and milk in the Quiche, potatoes and more than one might think in the ceral bar.. A more friendly idea, is perhaps a swap the potatoes for a salad, or quiche for meat, change the cereal bar for a apple etc or perhaps a simple fruit yougert.. Eat wholemeal grains i.e gannery bread etc.. Wholemeal pasta rather than normal white.. It may be that you have to do some portion control to cut back on some of the high carb parts of a meal, Pata and pastry have a lot more carbs in them than one might think, sometimes a smaller portion can help, and increase veg and meat protion for meal size can help ensure that meal size.. Snack, nut's, perhaps cheese and crackers (crackers only have 5g of carbs) sugar free jelly small piece of fruit will tie you over.. Your team will closely monitor you and the baby due to as you go through your pregnancy it's likely that your blood glucose will change and you may need medication or insulin to help control your blood sugar levels, if this happens no need to panic, as it is likely that it will only be for the duration of the pregnancy and you can stop after you've had the baby.. Diabetes in pregnancy is slightly different than other times, so you need to work with your team who will discuss and give information on the oppropiate targets you should be looking to achieve.. Good luck for your pregnancy [/QUOTE]
