Hi

I had GD and it was a lifestyle diet for me. I was already eating very healthy foods, but this did not seem to matter, so tell her not to worry. You can still do everything right and still get it. My cousin has type one Diabetes so it can be a family thing.

I just ate fresh vegies and fruit and i was told to eat 6 smaller meals to keep my blood sugar levels stable all day. I only ever ate 3 meals so this was a big change for me. No fruit juice or anything with high amounts of natural sugar, grapes that sort of thing.

I was fine after delivery and so was baby. Just have to keep healthy so i dont develop Diabetes down the track.

I hope this helps....
