Question: What type of diet should I follow if I have gestational diabetes?
Answer: Good nutrition is especially important during pregnancy if you've developed gestational diabetes. Diabetes develops when your body can't efficiently produce or use insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas that allows cells to turn sugar in your blood (glucose) into usable fuel. When large amounts of glucose accumulate in your blood, it means that your cells aren't getting the fuel they need. High blood sugar can be harmful for you and your developing baby, so it's important to try to control it.
One way to keep your blood sugar levels under control is to follow a specific meal plan. If dietary changes aren't sufficient to keep your blood sugar in a healthy range, you'll need to take insulin as well. you will need to balance your meals with just the right amounts of protein, carbohydrates, and fat, vitamins and minerals.
Here are some general guidelines:
Eat a variety of foods, distributing calories and carbohydrates evenly throughout the day. Make sure both your meals and your snacks are balanced.
Don't skip meals. Be consistent about when you eat them and the amount of food you eat at each one. Your blood sugar will remain more stable if your food is distributed evenly throughout the day and consistently from day to day.
Eat a good breakfast. Your blood glucose levels are most likely to be out of whack in the morning. To keep your level in a healthy range, you may have to limit carbohydrates (breads, cereal, fruit, and milk), boost your protein intake, and possibly avoid fruit and juice altogether.
Include high-fibre foods. These foods are broken down and absorbed more slowly than simple carbohydrates, which may help keep your blood sugar levels from going too high after meals.
Limit your intake of foods and beverages that contain simple sugars such as soda, fruit juice, flavored teas, and most desserts or avoid them altogether. These foods can quickly elevate your blood sugar.
Milk is high in lactose, a simple sugar, so if you drink more than two or three glasses a day, you may need to limit the amount you drink and find an alternative source of calcium. If you're looking for a new beverage of choice, try club soda with a squeeze of lemon or orange, or unsweetened decaffeinated iced tea.

Close church frens also know already. I tink in a week or 2, whole church will know and everyone will start congratulating me. Feel abit awkward when pple do that cos tummy not realli showing yet...haha...plus now everyone is like 'giving advice'...dunno who to listen too also...haha...
BTW, one of my parent's frens said to take HOME MADE soy bean milk instead of buying from outside. Anyone know where got sell the machine that will auto make the soy milk? I remember reading about it before but can't remember where...my hubby interested to get cos I drink 4-7 cups of soy milk a day, so it is worth it to make our own soy milk
If not must ask my maid to use manual labour to make everyday lei...scared she will be too tired...

Zenn, who got GD? If got GD, best to make appt with the hospital's nutritionist and get them to advice you according to your lifestyle and dietary habits.
My mum had GD when she was preggie with my sis. Her diet was controlled strictly and she took supps. My sis was born at 3kg via natural birth, no other complications.
GD usually leads to big baby, which most gynaes will rec'd C section. And big baby also means your child got increased risk of diabetes (children with birth weight above 3.6kg have increased risk of diabetes)...

Janey, I update the spending log every weekend. Then month end will total up and add to the chart.
At the beginning I also keep forgetting to update. haha...but after a while you will get used to it
Nana, boric acid is a common preservative used in alot of foods. In small quanities, it is harmless. Not only noodles, alot of other foods have it too!
If you have everything in moderation, it's alright. As long as you are not eating 5 meals of meepok everyday can already
Icylemon, regarding the 'yellow ginger', it's not realli true it will cause juandice la...cos the quantity used is v little, just to flavour food. As long as you not munching on it 24/7 can le
My couz had craving for malay and thai food which uses alot of yellow ginger during her pregnancy, her son is now so fair, I bring him swimming every week he is still so fair...

The crab they served had so much roe..yum..I couldn't resist as it was so fresh!!! Thanks for the recommendation.
zenn, how much weight have you put on so far? Me put on 2kg but relatives already find it very noticeable.
Jas, am interested in pre-natal yoga. Any recommendation of venus?
honeystar, you said the clothes at suntec very auntie? which shop you referring to?

Morning ladies!!!
Guessing Aqua will be over the moon this morning as Italy won... hahahahha...
I also went for steamboat over the weekend, treated my hubby to the Magic of Chongqing Hotpot! Am now 70 bucks poorer, but feel satisfied!! One thing though is that I dun seem to be able to eat much food... quite frustrating coz I do still feel hungry, just that cannot stuff anymore food in coz feel like puking... anyone feels hungry and bloated at the same time before? heheh.
Jas, I'm interested in pre-natal yoga, so looking out for it. I had a look at Birth and Beyond on Saturday, if I remember correctly, for 10 lessons they charge $200 for members and $240 for non-members... and they have three types of exercise classes, water aerobics, stretch and tone and pre-natal yoga... I'm still looking round to see if there are any cheaper classes anywhere....
Talking about bb stuff... my colleague bought me three bb bodysuits from US... heeheehee.... and over the weekend I bought the bb comforter set from Aussino for $69.90....
hmmm... I think I lost weight over the 1st tri lor... at first I gained about 1 kg, but after that lost about 2kg in total coz I developed very bad nausea and complete loss of appetite, haven't eaten well for some weeks already...
Today office very empty coz my bosses instituted this 'come in late and pay back over the week' policy for the world cup, many people taking advantage of it and coming in late in the morning...

Girls, if having bloated feeling, some light exercise helps to expel the wind in stomach and helps with the bloated feeling.
I feel much better after my daily walks with my dog.
Try to burp when possible cos it will help decrease the bloated feeling.
I realise that spicy food helps the gas exit faster (either end).
