A day of what I ate on Easter Sunday (no chocolate bunnies) with Gestational Diabetes while trying to keep my glucose levels under control at 30 weeks pregnant. This is based on my drs protocol. Everyone will be different but here are some tips and tricks I've learned so far. Also, it is very similar to what they recommend for the pregnancy diet for everyone.
Fasting Blood Sugar: 92
Breakfast: 1/2 Protein bagel with cream cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, coffee with half and half
Breakfast Blood Sugar: 138
Snack 1: XS apple with peanut butter
Lunch: Salad with oil & vinegar, quinoa with spinach and parmesan
Lunch Blood Sugar: 136
Snack 2: Trader Joes (Damn you) free sample of chocolate chip cookie with ice cream
Dinner: Quinoa Cowboy burger on slim bun with cheese, asparagus
Dinner Blood Sugar: 129
Snack 3: multigrain waffle, cottage cheese, raspberries
Thanks for watching and I'm not a doctor or nutritionist so be sure to consult with your doctors!

About Me
My name is Laura Laws and I started this channel because I wanted to get the word out about the ERA test (I thought it would be weird to put it on my Real estate channel). The ERA test is a biopsy they do in the IVF process to see when you are receptive to implantation. It is new and I wouldn’t be pregnant without it! My husband Phil and I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia. We have 3 ragdoll cats and we are due June 10, 2018 with our first baby girl! I have shared my 2 rounds of IVF as well as weekly pregnancy updates & other baby related videos. I am a real estate agent and you can check out that channel if you’d like to see more info on real estate, smart home technology and other random stuff here: / kansascitykitties

*My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through **Diabets.Care** She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that*

Tip for less pain during your pricks. Pull on the tip of your finger. Rub very firmly, until the the tip of your finger has gotten much redder (this is due to increased blood flow to the area). It increases blood output and actually partially numbs the area. This will allow you to use a lower setting on your needle, which also reduces any pain. I use the smallest needle you can possibly get and my needle is set on 1. Its literally the BARE MINIMUM and it is way more than enough to get a proper reading. 👍👍👍

It was a hard struggle at first, but once you get a good system down, with some wholesome meals, it becomes easier. I love all the meals I eat and oddly enough, because they are healthier, I’ve been losing weight. Baby is healthy and he’s making me healthier too 🥰 he’s changing my life and doesn’t even know it yet!!

@@magicalmomlaura it's just this year has been the worst. I had a miscarriage around may, while I was pregnant he barrows $300 more from his parents and didn't tell me which put us $500 under with them, then I get into a bicycle accident and dislocated my ac and tore some ligaments, then I find out I accidentally got myself pregnant again (before we had been trying for about 2 years so it's not like I didn't want to get pregnant I just wasn't emotionally ready) then on the 4th of July we got into a car accident (went to er to make sure baby was ok, it's fine) but now we have to do the buy it back program because the insurance is considering it a total loss even though it's just the driver door that got damaged and we are still waiting for the insurance company to send the money to get it fixed, now my sister and her husband are having problems and are constantly fighting and plan on getting a divorce, he keeps blaming her for cheating and she keeps dragging him down for every small thing he ever did wrong or didn't do, tonight he stole their car (even though we needed it to get to my Dr. Appointment tomorrow morning ) along with at least $3000 that they saved up for and is meant to go towards rent electric exetra and whatever my niece might need (she just turned a year old in July 18), I didn't even get to attend her birthday because I have to work, and then I get diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and now just tonight on my lunch break I accidentally dropping my phone and now my screen is cracked 😭 I literally just don't know how much more I can take mentally and emotionally. I already suffer from anxiety and depression from childhood abuse, I just need something good to happen, like a really good day where I don't have struggle and I can just enjoy the day with friends and family and laugh and have a good time, I just don't see that happening any time soon though 😭

@@harmonideederworld7708 my story continues.. we got the car fixed and back, then about a month ago now my fiance used the money from the car accident that we had planned on using for the baby to get crib and such and didn't tell me or replace what he used. I was very mad and stressed trying to figure out how to make it work. A week after I found this out he got into another car accident. This time it wasn't his fault. The semi driver fell asleep behind the wheel and so my fiance sped up trying to get past him but clipped the back end of his car making him spin out and then the semi hit him again in the passenger side. So the car was officially undrivable. Ever since I've been experiencing daily panic attachs. We got the money from his insurance and we live in Michigan, my step dad and his girlfriend drove us all the way to illinois in chicago, going through two states just to buy a used car. Going home my anxiety was through the roof and by the time I got home I was in tears. We left at like 2pm and didn't get home until 9pm. Three days later my fiance is on his way to work and the back windshield completely shattered! Oh I almost forgot last week I started insulin also. I've also got emergency panic attach medicine that's safe for baby, and also found out I'm vitamin d deficient and my no lifting order doesn't start until I'm 20 weeks and I'm currently only 15 weeks and 4 days. Yes I believe in god but if he's got a handle on things he'd better start grabbing the wheel.

I have started eating the killer Dave’s bagels(I only eat half of a bagel) with the cream cheese, cucumber and tomato. I also bought the everything but the bagel seasoning and omg it’s such a delicious filling breakfast. I had the same sheets as you as I was Penn obgyn and MFM with Chester County Hospital for my last pregnancy in the very beginning. We lost the baby but I am type 2 diabetes now so I still use the carb sheets and love your tips even when not pregnant it helps with carb counts.

Oh damn, being a vegetarian while on gestational diabetesust be really tough! I can't even handle the fact that you can only eat certain fruits while on gestational diabetes, you literally only have vegetables and certain breads as okay meals. I feel for yeah :( maybe give up on being vegetarian for the time being that your pregnant and then go back to your regular diet when your diabetes goes away. I know that sounds discouraging but with gestational diabetes you have to make sure you're full enough with your meals and I don't think just vegetables is going to help. I have gestational diabetes and it was hard for me to keep my glucose down. I have to take ten units of insulin everynight. Walking doesn't help, and my diet hasn't helped with my glucose either. Sometimes I just wake up starting on a really high glucose number and I challenge myself on what to eat for the rest of the day. Gestational diabetes is so discouraging when you try your best to take care of yourself. Ps. I use my BF's KZfaq account. And I'm 35 weeks pregnant.

Usually, doctors suggest to add about 2 snacks in between your meals. The reason to do so is to spread your food along the day to avoid sugar picks. It actually workers better for your results. However every body is individual, therefore you test lood sugar so often to see what works for you.

Sorry I never had to do the 2 hr after meal value. Definitely talk to your dr or a nutritionist.
