GD diet after delivery?

Question

I was diagnosed with GD and I’m on a diet now which is really helpful and no insulin is needed. My question is if I have to continue with the diet for some time after delivery or I am able to (finally!) have some carbs to enjoy?

Answer

I had a sugar packed meal within 2 hours after delivery with my first.  My hospital didn’t check my blood sugar at all after delivery and I had to follow up outpatient to do a 2 hour glucose test at my 6 week post-partum appt to make sure it had gone away.

Answer

I ate cupcakes in the delivery room as soon as my last gd baby was out. Lol I’m going to bring some candy for this baby since I missed out on my birthday, Halloween, Christmas and Valentine’s Day candy🤷🏻‍♀️ and then I’ll go back to my normal low carb diet.

Answer

Technically no because the whole issue is mainly placenta related, sticking on the diet or close to the diet will help reduce you chances of getting type 2 diabetes

Answer

My consultant told me that as soon as I give birth I can stop testing and injecting ! Can’t wait ! Being induced on Wednesday @ 38 weeks x

Answer

I delivered Thursday night,  they checked my Friday fasting number and decided I was diabetes free so I have been indulging 😊 I was mostly diet controlled but need insulin for my fasting numbers.

I was told after deliver to eat normally for two months then they will redo the  yucky drink glucose test again. So I really don't have to worry about my blood sugar .

Answer

I had pizza delivered to the hospital after delivery. My bloods did go sky high and the nurses were concerned until I told them I ate two thirds of a pizza and a carton of coconut juice. My bloods were fine 3 days postpartum. The GD diet (or a version of it) is recommended to help maintain a healthy weight and nutrition, and to try and prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. GD increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes over the next 10 years.

Answer

I ate whatever i wanted after I delivered, they didn’t test my sugars either:..they weren’t concerned since I delivered the placenta and that’s what caused it. My doctor never mentioned a follow up test so I didn’t take it either. I never had any issues

Answer

I’m 8.5 months pp and my blood sugar is still 200-300 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
