new to having gestational diabetes

Mim

Please may I have some advice from any mums who are going through this. I'm 35 weeks & 3 days (been a high risk from start due to precious pregnancy/preeclampsia). I was told on Wednesdsy that my 2nd glucose test came back higher then my 1st (done at 28 weeks) & I had +1 in my urine,so they have put my on a diet to maintain levels. 1ST: I'm confused by what I can/can't eat, what foods should you avoid and what foods help (what brands/labels do you use). Each website states something different. 2ND: My levels are (before breakfast) 5.3 & after meals (less than) 7.8, are these levels high/low/average for someone. Any advice or help woild be most greatful.
