Gestational Diabetes General Chatter #5

Smudgy, don't forget to eat between meals as well...... It is better to have 6 small meals a day than 3 large ones, may also help with the BSL's...... It is a game of trial and error, til you find the foods that don't put your BSL's up high, a week is a very short time to try and find it out..... I can eat multigrain rolls, but not bread, go figure, bread continually puts my BSL's up....... Oh and BTW chocolate doesn't put my BSL up, though still best to only have a couple of squares...... I hope that you are able to control the GD with your diet, I'm sorry that you were diagnosed with it...... Good luck over the next couple of days.

Hi Vanessa
Yes, that's something I've not tried. I think smaller meals sounds better for me since I bloat up after my meals.

p/s: any idea how much baked beans I can have for breakfast?

Thanks!
