Premier protein shakes? Yes or No?

Question

I got diagnosed with GD (Gestational Diabetes) last week and went for a follow up today so they can see how my blood sugars have been doing. They're worried about my fasting blood sugars and want to put me on a med (that I DO NOT recommend to any pregnant mom no matter how many kids they have) instead of giving me healthy options to try and get them below 98 in the morning. I was wondering if any other Plus Sized moms or moms to be if they have tried the Premier protein shakes to help with their fast blood sugars? And if so how did they help?

Answer

Nopales (cactus) is great in helping reduce blood sugar. Try and incorporate that in your diet. They are so good, but I’m bias cuz I’m Mexican lol.

Answer

Look up glucose goddess. She has great information about insulin resistance and ways to help.

Answer

Yes, you can do premier proteins. Iv had GD twice before, I’m sure I’ll have it again at this fourth pregnancy and I drink them religiously due to have had a gastric sleeve back in 2018. No issues with numbers.

Answer

Also walking for 15 mins after every meal made a big difference in all my numbers

Answer

Yea!! I drank a premier protein shake every night at about 8:30 and went to bed at 10pm and also walked around the house for about 15 mins before bed every night and it brought my fasting numbers in the morning back down to where they needed! 
I also made it a habit to eat diner no later than 6pm to help with morning fasting numbers and always make sure it was a balanced protein filled meal.

Answer

I was diagnosed with diabetes before I got pregnant and was already on medicine. But I do love the premier protein shakes. I was recommended by the diabetes nurse to drink half at a time though because I would just pee out the nutrients lol. 
I also recommend 10-15 min of walking after eating. That always helps my sugars. 
As for fasting I recommend a snack before bed and staying at a serving of carbs for snacks (15grams is  bc a serving)
