I was diagnosed around week 28 with GD. My doctor referred me to a diabetic nurse educator and a nutritionist. They track my results every 2 weeks. But mentally, its been a rollercoaster. When I first found out, i literally cried. Note that I had 3 pregnancy losses, and never got this far. The GD diagnosis devastated me. Im hanging in there. Praying for a healthy baby 🙏🏼

@usagikinomoto_sakura Ай бұрын

Me too, I was diagnosed with GD. Pricking my fingers several times a day isn't fun. I'm at the last sprint week 36 now. Hope that both of us get a healthy baby 😊

Just been recently diagnosed with GD. I'm just so overwhelmed and confused. And honestly idk why doctors don't explain in detail. Calming a pregnant woman should prioritized. Honestly I'm feeling much better after watching your video. I was blaming myself because I ate cakes and stuff as I was always craving for something sweet and I have been feeling guilty that I caused it. But I'm feeling much better now. Plus I'm glad you mentioned about the fibre intake which really relaxed me as I am really regular with my fibre intake. Thank you for making this video

Clean water is so important to my family especially now I’m that I’m pregnant! A few years ago we went to Jamaica and outside of our resort it really opened our eyes that some people don’t have the privilege or access to clean water. There were signs above public sinks saying do not drink for hand washing only. Citizens were begging for water bottles from travelers. Last year we went to Hawaii and after a hike we got a snow cone from this random food truck. Immediately I was so sick for the whole day and the next day, I know it was the ice. I’m so much more aware of trusting where I am getting my water from. Having a water bottle like this would definitely come in handy.

It’s important to have clean water in our house hold due to moving to a new area in Az known for having high levels of lead. Did not know this, my kids pediatrician caught it at our 3 year old check up. Now pregnant and worried those levels could affect baby and me scares us. We always use Flittered water when cooking or washing fruits and vegetables. When our refrigerator flitter needs to be switched out it’s crunch time. We do not want to mess around with any chances of harm. My family is constantly drinking tons of water! Which mean when we’re out and I am unsure of the water, having pre-flitter water bottles are a god sent. 😊 this is an amazing give away! Also, thank you again for sharing. I’m sitting in my 3 hours glucose test feeling so many different emotions. This is helping me calm down and realize everything will be fine and there so much help and information available 🤍🙃

Thanks for this video! I am a thin mama with GD. My first pregnancy, I got preeclampsia. My second pregnancy I had no complications and a super fast home birth. My third pregnancy GD. What a surprise! And my range that I was given are 90 or less for fasting and 120 or less for throughout the day. I am 80-90% in range (fasting has been the most challenging number, like you said) but yeah it's hard and often boring. And I am required to test after every meal, snack, and non-water beverage. But I'm about 8 weeks in, so I'm close to my due date and so happy to be at the end of pregnancy!!

I have it now too. Watching this made me feel better because I thought something was wrong with me. My morning breakfast consists of one slice of multigrain bread with peanut butter (one with only 2 to 3 grams of sugar), 3 to 4 slices of cucumber, and one boiled egg. I may have cream cheese instead of peanut butter. I find it easier to eat the same kind of foods for breakfast. I eat quinoa for both lunch and dinner with any protein. My veggie choices are: broccoli, spinach, cabbage, and cucumber. I may eat toast with avocado and a boiled egg, a veggie of my choice, and another protein for lunch. I have controlled my glucose well. My morning and after lunch snacks might be apple, mandarin, and banana. After dinner, I have been having a few triscuits. I think it is also trial and error figuring out what works. All I think about is that it is just a couple of months of this and I can eat what I want afterwards. So I keep it safe and eat similar things every day. I have had some cheat snacks though. Taking walks after meals and drinking lots of water help so much.

Second pregnancy here with gdm and all the things I did to control my blood sugar the first is not working and it’s so depressing. I’m to the point where eating 10 net carbs spikes my blood sugar 30 points. I wear a CGM because I’m honestly curious about what’s going on and it just confirms that I need to go on insulin this time around. I can have a snack before bed and my blood sugar hovers around 100 all night and I have a fasted reading of 104. Oh yeah and I have PCOS. My A1C was 4.2 about three weeks ago so yeah gestational diabetes really needs to be talked about more often. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how hard you try to stay active and diet while pregnant, you’ll still end up needing insulin and that’s ok.

And then trying to do research it feels so unrealitic because a lot of the "super healthy foods" like cauliflower rice or protein shakes and such i don't like.

I've just been diagnosed at 27 weeks. I'm waiting to get my testing kit but in the meantime, I'm just testing various combinations of food to see how my body responds + making sure I stay active. Luckily I like healthy foods but I've never been a big fan of meat, and now I have to eat a lot more animal products than I'd like. If you don't like 'healthy' food, it's definitely worth exploring different ways you can 'hide' it with other flavours. Herbs and spices will be your best friend :) good luck, it's not easy for sure!

Loved this! I don’t think our tap water is that great either so I’d love a filtered bottle for my kid to have clean water!

I have a son a couple months younger than yours and have been watching your videos since I found out I was pregnant! ☺️ I would love to get him a water bottle! He loves drinking out of “big boy cups” and I would love to know his water is clean!🤩

Aww girly you look so cute with your bump I wished I looked that good when I was preggo but I legit looked like Chewbacca lol Clean water to me means to me having the privilege to one of our most vital things to keep us thriving. Mind you I don't have super clean water now but it opened my eyes when I was small visiting my parents hometown in Mexico what a luxury it is to have even clear water from the faucet. We would all get sick with stomach viruses from just arriving and drinking it and be sick for days. I didn't understand why something so needed in our bodies was not a priority world wide to keep clean and be a option to everyone. I now have my little one and strive to provide him the best water I can or purest as his little body is developing and doesn't need extra toxins entering his body through water.

i see that you posted this a year ago but I was diagnosed with GD recently and (very frustrated) I was told that the one hour timer starts when you take you first bite of food not when you finish eating. i thought that was weird since people eat at different rates, so you could be taking your last bite of food 30 min before you test. Anyway I am wondering why you and I might have received different instructions on that. Your way seems the correct more logical way. I have received so much conflicting information on this its driving me insane. I just want to do whats right for me and baby but all this differing information is making that really hard.

Did you do anything that helped lower your fasting number in the morning?

What if you have low blood sugar?? I got my 10 week blood test results and my levels were low..scared me pretty bad! Makes me paranoid about GD.

I dont understand :/ In my country our minimum for empty stomach sugar is 5,3 and after 1 hour from the first bite below 7 need to be. But i see on your meter is 9+ ect. :/

Clean water is SO SUPER IMPORTANT to me and my family I have a toddler who loves water as well and we have tap water and I don’t like to drink it nor give it to her because of the toxins and we don’t have a filter… so we buy water which is so unhealthy for the environment and costly us 😭 a filtered water bottle that is actually big would be PERFECT 😍 🙏
