Hello,
I have recently been diagnosed with GD at 32/33 weeks pregnant. I have been asked to monitor my blood sugars regularly. I have never really eaten white bread, always opting for granary - and VERY granary at that (the more seeds the better! ) so thought that was OK.
I had 2 slices this morning (a turkey BLT) and my glucose was 8.9 an hour after eating (too high). The same happened when I had 2 slices at lunchtime the other day.
Jacket potato also sent it high, but I am not surprised, and am willing to not eat them, so long as I could have my wholegrain/granary but it appears not! What type of bread/carbs CAN I eat?? At the moment it appears nothing! I only have a few weeks to get my head around this before the arrival of my little one but want to ensure I am doing as well as possible.
Thanks in advance
