Hi Hoshi,
yeah, 25 weeks now. I think its earlier for me cuz I'm having twins. And the doctor said twins have a higher tendency to develop GD, and as they grow, the hormone levels will be higher, hence preventing insulin to be effectively produced. He said its gonna be hard to keep controlling diet for the next 12 weeks so better to use insulin - less stress, can still maintain healthy diet without shortchanging nutrients. I did notice that my sugar levels are getting higher these past few days vs last week despite eating same food, so now I also feel that maybe insulin is the best way to manage it.
My normal diet - 1 bowl oatmeal + milk for breakfast, 1 hard boiled egg mid-morning, 1 cup brown rice + steam chicken + steam vege for lunch, 1 fruit (apple/peach/pear) for mid-afternoon, either yoghurt or 1 slice cheese for evening, then 1cup brown rice, steam chicken/fish and vege for dinner, and lastly 1 fruit or 1 glass milk at night. I try to make sure I eat every 2-3 hours. All meals prepared at home as I'm not working now. so its really already very basic, plus I noticed my weight dropped 0.5kg in the last two weeks due to this adjustment.
