Gestational Diabetes

unknown

I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes last week, but breakfasts are tough for me. I like eggs, but I don't love them and when I search GD breakfast recipes basically all I find is 100 ways to prepare eggs. Any other ladies who had GD with good breakfast ideas?

Hiya I had GD had to inject insulin. Mines has not left totally am now borderline need to loose weight to control it.

However when I was pregnant I found porridge or ready break good. Brown bread. Ski yogurt as it's the best low sugar.

Hope that helps you

Sounds good, but what exactly is ski yogurt?

Thanks for the ideas...I'm assuming the oatmeal is just a little bit because of the carbs though?

If you do Greek yogurt that is unsweetened you can add a sweetener of your choice (stevia, sugar, splenda, honey, etc). I like it with blueberries, almonds and a little honey. You will have some carbs with this but you can control the amount because you're choosing how much of each thing to put it.

I don't know if you have met with a dietician or were just left to your own devices but you might ask for a referral if you didn't get one. They can help you with planning your day. My friend had it during her pregnancy the the dietician told her to keep it at 30g or less of carbs for each meal so that would put you at about 90g for the day.

And remember, you don't have to have breakfast food for breakfast! Meat is low carb and the breakfast police won't come arrest you so choose what sounds good and fits your macros regardless of what time of day it is.

Oatmeal is fine as it is a low GI carb. Maybe ask your midwife for a diet sheet or ring her and ask her advice on if it is safe or not to put your mind at rest?
