Thanks for the replies girls, however things are not any better! I called my dietician this morning as was not happy with yesterdays levels, apparently she is away until tomorrow, I said the the receptionist I wasn't prepared to wait til then cause the levels were so low, when I told what they were she put me thru to an antenatal clinic (not mine) & I spoke with 2 nurses...honestly what they told me left me speechless, 1 asked me if my machine is working - like how do I know but given the midday reading was 4.9 I'd guess that it is working ok, then she passed me to this other lady who insisted I probably wasn't eating enough, I said I'm having the max serves of most stuff including 3cups of basmati rice with dinner last night cause I was desperate to get those levels up. She said I need to experiment more with my diet, I need to eat more & go & get a Snickers & try adding more chocolate to my diet????? Ok so I get that a Snickers would bring the levels up but I told her if the the diet they've provided can't give me more then the minimum levels has there been so mistake with diagnosing me with GD? Is that possible, I swear I am eating what they say, not sure if I'm making any mistakes, I've listed what I'm eating today which to me & everyone I've talked sounds more then enough food, yesterday was v similar but with the 3 serves of rice & stir fry veg for dinner. Trying not to get stressed but I am, not enjoying eating cause I'm not hungry & so worried that I'm eating too much or too little you know?
