[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2087062, member: 501623"] Congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm not sure how much this could be applied to your situation but anything encouraging is probably welcome at this point.. [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/gestational-diabetes-pregnancy[/URL] I had mildly elevated blood sugar levels from 28 weeks pregnant and onwards (gestational diabetes) and I still couldn't stop my morning fasting levels from rising in the 3rd trimester so I was put on insulin. It's a tricky balance getting nutrition right while pregnant. If you were to embark on a low carb diet while pregnant, which makes the most sense for the blood sugar levels, you have to monitor your hydration and a few other things. For your own health, getting your blood sugar down is important. 9 months of pregnancy can feel like an eternity but it will go quickly. In the end, you'll probably just have to trust your care providers to help get you through the pregnancy. Such a difficult place to be though, to be told to terminate :(... I hope you can find someone to guide you through. Maybe an obstetrician who specializes in low carb diets for diabetic pregnant women?? All the best with your journey! [/QUOTE]
