Hi! Congrats & good luck!! I've been on & off again on this site... I had Gestational Diabetes during my pregnancy, Just gave birth in January... Girl, my sugar craving during pregnancy was insane! Other than being pregnant, I don't crave the sweets... it was so annoying! I tried to keep track of my sugar intake on here…

Thanks!! I was nervous just checking my sugar levels, but it turned out fine! I'm sure things will be OK! I did speak w/ my GD counselors and they told me to disregard the sugar intake on here. We are more focused on total carbohydrates, which is what I've been doing. Being my numbers are good, I am doing something right…

Yes the hospital offers numberous programs... I haven't yet taken advantage, but I should. The counselors are great though too... I can also contact the nutrionist. I work at the hosptial I will deliver and with the doctors who will deliver and the counselors. eTC. So its very accessible and convienient. Glad to hear ur GD…

Good for you! That is great!! I think I am going to not worry as much as I am, keep doing what I am doing and follow what my counselor reccomends. Everyones advice is good, but I don't think these numbers match my diagnosis. I do also have high blood pressure for about a year :-(

And another thing to mention is - Since I've been on this diet - 1 1/2 - 2 months - I've lost 8lbs... Which I had a hard time losing weight before my pregnancy. I appreciate the feedback from you all. I just feel like I am doing most things correct and w my sugar level reads being with in target range - I think I'm doing…

LEVELS RANGE FROM 70-100. I MUST DO IT 2 HRS AFTER I EAT - 4X DAILY

I wanted to mention - I also have to check my sugar levels by pricking myself and recorded it 4x daily... they are always in normal range???? So that is antoher reason I thougt my food choices were wise? I am with in range. The only time I go over, is if I would decide to have something out of my diet

Thanks - I realized that after I posted in this topic, LOL... I did re-post... I also am awaiting a reply from my gestational counselors... Just thought some other feedback may help as well... I appreciate it

Thanks.. I'd rather not turn off the sugar feature. It's good to know, especially w the gestational diabetes. But I follow a diet the nutritionist gave me. Ex; 3 carbs, 1 protein for breakfast, 3 carbs, 3 oz protein for lunch/dinner... Then snack in between each meal of 1 carb, 1 protein... So I will choose Peanut butter…

Hello all ~ I am a new member here, My co-workers and myself decided to join and start this diet thing once & for all... lol.... We've been talking about it for a while now, But guess what... Summer is right around the corner and I am convinced and determined to lose at least 20lbs. I know I can do it, especially now w/…
