Hi,

I had GD with DS a few years ago and am dreading being tested this time. I think all the main points have been covered, but some things that really helped keep my sugar low were:
- eat regularly, don't let your sugar fall then rise too high
- don't eat fruit on it's own - add some yoghurt or have something else that has a bit of fat in it
- food with fat tends to be lower GI because the fat helps to slow down the processing of it. That's why toasted muesli is low GI and natural muesli is medium GI
- regular exercise - even just a quick walk or something makes a massive difference
- if you need to indulge in something sugary, do it WITH a meal or straight after rather than on it's own
- If you have a really low GI meal, it can help lower the GI of the next meal... so, if you know you are going to have, say, a cake for morning tea, or whatever, then have a really saintly brekky to help slow it down.

Good luck!!!
