Bummed :( Sugar intake

Bummed! Seems as though my food choices have a lot of sugar intake? But I've made wiser decisions, choosing fruit instead of junk food? NOT happy :-(

I am following a gestational diabetes diet of 1800 calories. I don't always chose the best foods, but from where I've been to where I am now - I thought I was doing great... I recently added the "sugar and sodium" feature to my calorie intake form and I can't believe the amount of sugar some "healthy" foods have! I need help!

    I think this topic is better suited to a diet-and-nutrition forum, or general weight loss help, as it seems to pertain to your actual eating habits, rather than website nuts and bolts.

    That said, if you are eating a special diet for diabetes, I'd highly recommend talking to your doctor first before opening up for tips from the Internet crowd. S/he would be equipped to help guide you to the right choices for your health.

    If you are pregnant and concerned, this convo should definitely happen with your doctor. Sugar from fruit is still sugar.
