Gestational Diabetes General Chatter #1

[Mel09]

Thanks MelBel - I have seen the book, I will get a copy though... I forgot about it to be honest.

Skorpy - GL mate... I hope that you don't have GD again, although this time with new research you might find it abit easier!

Abs - Thanks a few people have told me about that ice cream... do you know the brand? I just always crave something after dinner, I need to 'finish' the meal off with something about 15 minutes after!!!

We are employing a diabetes educator at work she starts on Monday, so I will be speaking to her, and our dietitian is sending me some info (we are based at different sires) so that will be good...

Thanks for all the support guys, it's only 9 weeks to go!

Oh one more Q... What's the go with induction? I have read all the articles on main site and that, but was wondering what your personal feelings/experiences were!

Hi Sorry for the delay in getting back to you

It's Peters Light & Creamy

97% Fat Free, Low GI of 46 or 48 (writing is pretty small) - Melbel can give a better indicator of how low that is... I think the mid-range mark is like 55 ???, and 13.5g carbs per serve, which is less than one slice of bread (15g) - at least if my memory is correct it is

And best of all, it taste pretty good.

The figures above are from the Caramel Triple Swirl container... other flavours might differ a little



Enjoy - we did tonight

-- I think Norco brand make a low GI low fat ice-cream, and there may be others.
