Gestational Diabetes
So I went to do my 1 hr drink test yesterday and I bombed it so badly they aren't even going to have me do the 3 hr test. I have a new glucomoter and I see the Diabetes Dr next week but in the meantime can anyone give me some advice on how they have been sucessful at keeping their sugar levels normal? I have read several different opinions from legitimate sources but all I know is I am HUNGRY!! lol Also, my dr told me yesterday that I am swelling and she may very well take me out of work in the next week or two. I am only 28+ 5. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

So 1 carb is 15grams and 1 protein is like 3 oz. of meat, serving of cheese, or a serving of nuts. So ithe meal plan I got follows like this:
Breakfast 2 carbs and 2 protein
Snack. 2 carb and 1 protein
Lunch. 3 carb and 3 protein
Snack. 2 carb and 2 protein
Dinner. 3 carb and 3 protein
Snack. 2 carb and 2 protein
You have to eat every few hours, this above is a max, you can choose to eat less but you have to eat atleast 1 carb and 1 protein. You have to remember to check the serving size and the grams of carbs. If you wanted a regular mtn. Dew its 46grams of carbs or 3 carbs, basically you don't want to drink soda. Drink lots of water. This was what I was told from my dr.
