Hello, its all so overwhelmingI am so scared to eat and am so hungry all the time
It's only since yesterday that I know but I have an appointment for.next Tuesday for a dietitianHave you checked out the Gestational Diabetes forum here? I'm going to move your post there for you.
Don't be afraid to eat - both you and baby need good, healthy food. Have you been given advice about diet?
I have Type 1 not GD but I understand that most ladies with GD are referred to a dietician and given help with their diet. Have you been referred to a dietician yet? Is your midwife helping you too?
I started a diary for food!If you have time, keep a record of what you eat and your blood sugar levels. That will be helpful for you, and for the dietician too as they'll be able to see how your body is reacting.
Although GD can be a worry, remember that it's very good that it's been spotted, and that you'll get extra checks during your pregnancy. I found the extra care very reassuring, and I hope you will too![]()
