Hi Mel

I know how that feels in finding out for the first time.But it isnt as bad as you think. Just stay off the choc and sweet stuff also real fatty foods and you will be fine,it will prevent your baby in getting too big.The only thing i found good about having Diabetes was that i was induced a week early and could sort myself out for that day.

But i found foods like fruit and fibre good for breakfast,i did have toast with a scrapping of butter on it. Fruit and vedge isnt a problem,just go easy on bananas and grapes,grapes has lots of sugar in them and bananas are worse they contain 3 different sugars..sucrose, fructose and glucose.For Lunch i had scrambled eggs and Ham or on dry toast. snacks inbetween you can get diet bars or fruit.And for Dinner i ate foods like jacket potato,boiled foods ,veg etc. I know how hard it is and i craved chocolate and it killed me.But i figured as long as the baby was healthy i had to do what i had to do.Plus if you stick to the controlled diet,you wont need to be put on insulin.

This was in my last pregnancy and of course because of that i had to be tested for this pregnancy at 14 weeks and at that time was clear.I am being tested again next week,so im hoping all is fine...but iv become Big again all of a sudden,so im not sure what the result will be.
