Can i have packet hot cocoa??

Question

I just got diagnosed with GD and haven't had a dr appt or a dietician appt yet. I really love to have a 8 oz glass of hot cocoa before bed but i am nervous about it now. I always only use fat free skim milk when i make it. Thank you in advance for all the answers and advice.

Answer

I'm 34 weeks and I'm diagnosed with GD ... drinking a cup of milk before bed is good or you could drink the cinnamon/mint tea before going to bed just make sure it say diabetes its good you dont need to add anything to that tea...  and hopefully by the time you see your dietitians he/she will ask you a lot of questions to see how often do you consumer sugar in your body and if you have it bad as me they will cut sugar out of your diet... but don't forget eating too much starch can also make our sugar blood test high so eat portion starch and eat a lot of vegetables.... and another thing if your going to eat a fruit it have to be a certain size and you have to choose eat a fruit or drink a  fruit juice .... if your sugar remains high throughout your pregnancy your baby going to be big when he or she born

Answer

You can technically have anything you want but hot cocoa would not be considered a good use of your allowance of carbs. It's also better to protein as your bedtime snack, cocoa is basically just sugar. You can get sugar free cocoa though!
