Thanks for that highly flammable piece of information. When it comes to GD, my mom's & mil's advice are the worst. Hope it helps a recently diagnosed mom know she is not alone1yr ⋅ Dani-Paris ⋅ r/GestationalDiabetes

Found these Keto Clusters at my local ALDIs! Did not spike my blood sugar, and they taste AMAZING! (Like eating a cookie! Even my 5YO daughter liked them) Also found some non-flour/non-wheat pastas there as well. I tried an Edamame variety that was rather good (and my kid also enjoyed).1yr ⋅ Jjenkins112 ⋅ r/GestationalDiabetes

FYI for people missing their mocktails because of GD - no carbs, no alcohol - sanity saving. Highly recommend.2yr ⋅ locobeans15 ⋅ r/GestationalDiabetes
I've just been diagnosed, but don't see my doctor or the health advisors until next week. Has anyone experienced a high fasting sugar that didn't really rise during the test? It's weird, because I tend to see the test failed due to levels that rose too high during the test.8mo ⋅ bencumberbatch ⋅ r/GestationalDiabetes

My clinic gave me this diet to follow... they don’t have a nutritionist on staff and they’re only giving me a week to try diet changes before talking about meds. This is the diet plan they told me to follow, but I can’t help but feel like the carb count is pretty liberal, right?2yr ⋅ Own_Upstairs_777 ⋅ r/GestationalDiabetes

Here’s hoping this satisfies my random but intense pasta cravings... 1/4 cup is still 32g carbs. Going to try a small serving and see if the protein and fiber (maybe adding in some more protein too) can balance it all out. 🤞4yr ⋅ LudacrisS263 ⋅ r/GestationalDiabetes
