[QUOTE="busydiabeticmum, post: 1536702, member: 160151"] I am on a low carb diet, I have eaten the same thing for breakfast which I have found my body tolerates in pregnancy (mornings will always be harder and more sensitive due to the hormones being higher) I have some peanuts, cheese and tea. I used to drink coffee but that makes me sick now, eating big amounts in the morning will make me sick all day! ... just read about insulin... I was on insulin in previous pregnancies and doctors told me that my babies became ill because of the Bgl. The insulin didn't help fully control the Bgl for some reason, the Bgl would rise tremendously after meals and then go hypo before the next one! Bgl are extremely difficult to control in pregnancy because of the hormones and unpredictability of them, I am at a better hospital and going low carb has meant that I am not on medication. With the Bgl being high this can cause serious risk to the baby, it can stop their lungs developing properly and mean they can't breathe when born, it can effect the enzyme found in the waters that the baby breathes (coats the lungs) which can cause Pphn, it can cause the baby to grow too big and so end up with needing to break the shoulders to get it out... it can also mean they go hypo after being born. I am the mum so if anything goes wrong the blame is on me! If I don't do something right and baby suffers, that's my fault... no one else can take the guilt you feel afterwards. This is why I felt so bad and panicked. The responsibility is so huge and probably much bigger for people who already have a medical condition. [/QUOTE]
