Thanks for the lovely comments - I have worked really hard to keep the exercise up during pg and am glad now that I have GD. We have also figured out how I got it....this might sound complicated, but I have a pituitary gland tumour at the base of my brain (as been there for 15 years) and it has reacted in some way to the placenta hormones and Whammo! I have GD! At least it is nothing I have done (which was my concern all along...)
I have 2 pieces of Burgen soy and linseed toast with peanut butter (just a little bit) This morning I had 1 piece of Burgen toast and a bowl of peaches and prunes with low GI yoghurt - I am due to retest myself at 8.50am so will post again then with the results. My test this morning when I got up was 5.6 which I thought was high considering I hadn't eaten anything over night!
Porridge sounds fantastic - particularly as the weather is cooling down.
I just want to say thank you for having this thread Kelli - I was so nervous about GD and blamed myself that I had done something wrong that might harm my baby...but you have been so supportive and I cannot thank you enough....
