If I don’t like vegetables what can I do?
@@kneishashepherd2009 Thanks for asking! If you don't like vegetables you want to stick with high fiber fruits as well as all the ground fruits like berries. Additionally, stick to high protein and add in healthy fats from nuts and olive oil. Finally, take a prenatal vitamin to ensure you are getting all the vitamins and minerals you need for your baby. Good luck! If you can, please like my video and subscribe to my channel. It really helps me out! Thanks!
Hi, thanks so much for your video and this information. I do not consume the foods you share, but I do have about 1/2 cup of milk in the morning. Thoughts on oat or goat’s milk?
@@andreablancasbeltran9971 Thanks for asking. Goat's milk would be your better choice. Oat milk has a lot of sugar. Good luck!
@@TheMaternityMentor Thank you! Have a good weekend.
Food to avoid :
Sweetened drinks ie juices, sodas
Specialty drinks ie frappucinos
Whole milk
Pancake syrup
Hidden carbs ie condiments,sauces
Ice cream & sherberts
Baked potatoes and toppings
Cereals
Fried foods
Desserts ie pies, cookies ,cakes
Thanks
Thank you so much for the additional content. I'm sure many will find this super useful.
Fat is not bad. It’s the sugar and carbs.
There goes all the good food! I’m so over having gestational diabetes! I’m a picky eater so this has been very hard for me. Eating so much protein and all the fake sweeteners make me nauseous so there’s that too. So I either am nauseous or have high blood sugar.

Hang in there, hopefully it's just temporary. Protein takes a lot of water to digest, if you haven't been increasing your fluid intake you may be slightly dehydrated or lacking electrolytes which can cause flue like symptoms. Sending you love and light.
I drink a propell water every morning, then I drink water all day. I don’t know how
Much it ends up being but I aim for 4-5 16 oz bottles a day
Same here. It’s been hard to find food I like and recipes that I can actually be tempted to eat.
I totally relate. Being healthy while pregnant is more complex than just avoiding some foods. I seem to be grossed out by certain foods and ate junk because that's the only thing I could keep down. It's the weirdest thing🫠🙃
I’m currently 25 weeks and I don’t have gestational diabetes but I do follow lower carb modified diabetic diet. I can attest after eating this way for a few weeks, the sciatic and piriformis pain I had since week 20 went away. Even if I exercise, the pain don’t come back! And I get much better sleep too compared to before. I really think this kind of diet is just overall better for baby and mom health regardless of gestational diabetes diagnosis
Thank you for sharing! This diet really is amazing. Glad it helped! If you can, please like my video and subscribe to my channel. It really helps me out! Thanks!
Beautiful video I am 18 weeks and during my urine test there was a trace of glucose in my urine. It's my prayer I don't get this. My doctor said it could be lack of water or not eating a snack in between which in my opinion he's stating my lack of consistent meals could have cause hunger and leading to this?
What's your thoughts on this?

My wife just tested positive for this and we are kind of scratching our heads as she hardly eats any of this. Simple carbs from white rice, noodles, and cereal, then honey, ice cream, and butter. That’s all I can think of, and she is totally moderate with all of that. Is this something you see often? Should we be concerned or just cut those few things out entirely?

@footwinner1 I don't eat that stuff either! I have PCOS which affects insulin which makes you higher risk for GD.
Hello thank you for your video!

Ummm no. Lol. You just need to eat healthier food like grilled or baked food like fish or chicken etc. and fruit to a minimum. A good bit of vegetables. Stick to water and drinks with no sugar .
You literally just try to lay off the unhealthy carbs as well. And drinks loaded in sugar. Pretty much can eat what you’d eat as if you’d go on a diet. You can also have milk in small amounts like 1 cup at a time and only certain milks. You really just kind of have to use common sense. And also no white bread stick to whole wheat etc
Hi! Thank you so much for your detailed video. Just a quick question as I’m 33 weeks pregnant with gestational diabetes so can I drink 1 cup of coffee (3 in 1) instant sachets? Thank you!
Thanks for asking! That should be ok as long as there is not added sugars in it. So check the label first. Good luck!
Hi , i am 27 week pregnant n diagnosed gestational diabetes, can i take orange juice in morning , bcz i love to drink

On the safe side , I wouldn’t drink orange juice. Orange is on the high glycemic index.. which mean it will bring your sugar way up .. especially 8 oz or more
Ma'am good day .
im actually on insulin resistance but its makes me ill like having difficulty in breathing, chest pain,back pain ,dizziness and feels weak so i decided to stop taking it .

How many units are you taking after checking your blood sugars? I was feeling the same and just reduced my insulin intake
Hi, I am 28 weeks pregnant. My sugar level is high. I take 5 metformin tablets daily. Some time my sugar level is high 9.0. My doctor said me next week start insulin. I am afraid of insulin. Can you tell me which is better metformin or insulin
Insulin is better for reducing sugar levels. Good luck, I am sending you love, light and healing thoughts.
I am 10 weeks pregnant. During 8 weeks of pregnancy my fasting sugar was normal but pp was 149.Is it too high? Do u think it can be controlled??
Thanks for asking! I think if you start to make dietary changes now, you can control your blood sugar through diet alone. Talk with your healthcare provider and ask for a referral to a nutritionist who specializes in pregnancy. Good luck!
Hi... I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes... @the end of 13 th week... Due to limited carbs intake I was not gaining weight, I goes on lossing weight... Whether it cause any problem to my baby... Waiting for ur reply

Hi Mam ,
I m 34 weeks pregnant last week my blood sugar test was 196 pp ,please suggest some fruits and vegetables to overcome this
Thanks for asking! You want to stick with green vegetables and berries. Avoid high fructose containing fruits and the sweeter vegetables. Good luck!
Why is there so much negative about fat? I have been mainly focusing on limiting carbs but not so worried about fat. If it’s not making me gain weight is it still a problem?
Thanks for asking! As long as you are using healthy fats like Avocados, olive oil, nuts, etc. you do not need to worry about fats. They can be very healthy for you. However, unhealthy fats are bad whether or not they cause you to gain weight.
I am 31 weeks pregnant. For growth I am advised to take protein powder with milk. I have gestational diabetes. What to do?
Thanks for asking! First, use a protein powder that is low or no sugar added. Then mix it with whole milk. Whole milk is lower in sugar than low-fat milk. Second, ask to see a nutritionist who can review your diet to help you find other opportunities to increase your protein intake. Good luck!
@@TheMaternityMentor my protein powder is sugar free.. So i can have it with full fat regular cow milk right?? I don't need to purchase double toned or skimmed milk
Hi, I got my blood sugar test done last week nd it was 174(non fasting). Is there anything to do with fruits like mangoes and litchi?
Thanks for asking! While fruit and lychee are great for you, they are very high in sugar and can contribute to these high numbers. What many people don't realize is that you can develop diabetes from eating fruits and vegetables. Diabetes is about too much sugar and insulin resistance. Too much sugar can be natural sugar. If you like fruit, try to stick with more ground fruits like berries. These have a lower glycemic index. Also, use moderation when eating your favorites like mangoes. Good luck!
Hi Mam
I am 24 weeks pregnant and got gestational diabetes that is not controlling by food now i am using Metformin tablets 2 in the evening and 1 in the morning . When i get up in the morning without breakfast , i check my level sometimes that is higher 5.7, 5.4 mmol/l. Can you please tell me why in the morning my level is high ? Can you please suggest me something?
Thanks for asking! It is probably due to insulin resistance. At this point, I would be asking to be seen by a maternal fetal medicine specialist regarding your diabetes. You probably need to start on insulin injections for the safety of your baby. Poor glucose control can lead to stillbirth. Feel better!
I am 29 week pregnant. I have gestation diabetes I checked my sugar level 3 times after 1hour a meal. Mostly my morning level is under 150 mg, but lunch is under 140mg. Dinner 130 mg. But some time in the morning my sugar level is 167 too. I don't have a dietician so I don't know what level I need to keep my sugar at and what's good for me because I am vegetarian. Please help me.
Thanks for asking! Being a vegetarian with diabetes can be tricky. You need to make sure you are limiting carbohydrate high fruits and vegetables. You also need to make sure your protein intake is high enough. Unfortunately a lot of sources of protein for vegetarians are high in sugar like beans. You should probably ask your healthcare provider for a referral to a dietician who can assist with this. Good luck!
Thanks for the video.
I'm currently 16 weeks pregnant but with diabetes already. Despite having drastically reduced the amount of carbs I don't get any reading below 130 and most are above 150. I'm hungry all the time. I try to fill up with spinach, lettuce, meat, fish, eggs, 1 Granny Smith apple per day, 1 kiwi or portion of berries per day, courgette, green beans, nuts... but I don't manage to fill full. I can't eat whole grain bread nor potatoes nor rice at all as it spikes my levels above 160 easily. Do you think I can try pulses? Do you know of other foods that would make me fill full? Thank you very much
Thanks for asking! I am not sure what pulses are. I would make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids. Our bodies will send the hunger signal when we are thirsty and haven't responded to that. You should also focus on protein. It's the lowest in carbs and the longest lasting food. Feel better!
@@TheMaternityMentor Thanks a lot. I thought pulses were lentils, chickpeas... But English isn't my mother tongue, sorry
You should take small and frequent meals and try to take more vegetables but except grounded vegetables becoz it will put on more calories and increase diabetes so u can take greens and vegetables it will full fill your stomach as full
Hi there. Thanks for your video!
Have you got any suggestions on how to lower fasting blood sugar levels? I am 22w and have been put on insulin and metformin. I only started those 4 days ago but even with the insulin injections (6units) a night, my fasting levels are still higher than they’re meant to be. I’m not sure what to do
Thanks for asking! It does take a few days for your body to get used to the insulin. In the meantime, focus on high protein and healthy fats in your diet. You want to reduce your carbohydrate intake. Many people don't realize that some vegetables have a lot of carbs so make sure you are looking them up. Also, you want to limit high carb fruits and stick to low carb fruits like berries. Ask your healthcare provider for a referral to a nutritionist. Good luck!
Im 30 weeks pregnant and monitor my bs at home by myself
What is normal range of blood suger after two hours eating food my morning bs is after breakfast is 93 and after dinner is 130 is this normal?
Thanks for asking! Honestly it depends on the healthcare provider. 93 sounds great but 130 can be a little high. Ask your healthcare provider what the goal numbers should be. Good luck!

Mam my fasting sugar 80 after meal 2hours 150 .140what is ur advice ...my doc said it's ok he did not give any insulin medicine Iam so confused..plz help32week pregnancy
Thanks for asking! Depending on the guidelines your doctor is following, they may feel these sugars don't warrant insulin. Many insulin guidelines start at 150. Your best bet is to start focusing on your diet and reducing your carbohydrates so you don't need insulin to being with. Good luck! If you can, please like my video and subscribe to my channel. It really helps me out! Thanks!
@@TheMaternityMentor thanks so much for reply mam
I would say don't worry and consider urself blessed. Ive had to take a lot of insulin during pregnancy. Often made me feel unwell and keeping track of it all is stressful.
@@kelleym7623 ok thanks
I might as well starve myself from now on
Please don't starve yourself! There are plenty of good foods you can eat and still keep your blood sugar under control.
I'm 13 weeks pregnant. I have gestational diabetes. All my cravings are sweet. I can't eat them. 😭

Doc, Im 30weeks pregnant, My doctor found out that i have gestational diabetic! It is okay to take insulin and tablet during my pregnancy? After food my result is 95 below, But fasting is 112 to 113.
Thanks for asking! Insulin is safe for pregnancy and is the preferred and more effective way to treat diabetes. Diabetes can be extremely dangerous during pregnancy so it needs to be treated effectively. Pills take too long, putting your baby at risk. Your insulin usage needs to be monitored closely by your healthcare provider because it will probably change as the pregnancy progresses. Good luck!
