Anyone with GD slip & have a little sugar now & then?

Question

I usually stick to natural sugars like fruits when I have a sugar craving but the last three days I've craved sugar so bad I've indulged once or twice a day. I still test and they're fine but I feel guilty and also worried about the big baby thing. The third trimester is hard enough without dealing with gd. 😞

Answer

You should be ok.  Your case could obviously be different than mine but I met with a Maternal/fetal nutritionist and was told not to avoid carbs and that some fruits (and even half a cupcake because that’s what I craved) was ok as long as I’m sticking with my carb choices for each meal or snack.   I was told to avoid those items in the mornings.  I was eating an apple in the am and that would mess up my sugar but was ok if I ate it in the afternoon.  Like I said your case could be different or worse but as long as your numbers are ok, I think you’re ok.

Answer

As long as it's within my carbs for the meal/snack I eat whatever I want. I was craving a ginger ale the other day.  One can was 37 carbs and I could have 30 for a snack, so I simply drank a portion of the soda and it hit the spot!

Answer

I just want a big piece of delicious cake at this point and I've been on a diet for two weeks. Holy shit this is hard!!!!
I'm trying and seeing my blood sugar levels being bad when I did wrong actually helps.
If your blood sugar is so stable that a little piece of something doesn't throw it off, I don't see a problem. It's when the numbers are above limit that baby gets too much.
Do what you can and remember to tell yourself that it's only for a period of time. GD usually goes away afterwards..
