Struggling with cravings and gestational diabetes - any advice?

Question

Hey ladies! pregnancy cravings are hitting me hard, but with gestational diabetes, I'm struggling to find a balance. How do you manage your cravings while still keeping your blood sugar levels under control? Share your tips and strategies!

Answer

Sugar free cool whip, keto cheesecake fluff (cream cheese, heavy cream and sweetener like stevia), a small helping of sweet paired with protein and fat.

Answer

I had GD with number 2. I managed it mostly with my diet so I had to be very careful with carbs, but I craved sweets all the time! I was really good at first but as I tried different things I realized that if I was careful about what I ate with it, I could get away with eating half a normal sized cookie and it wouldn’t shoot my numbers up. I think what’s key is if you’re going to eat a small amount of carbs, balance it with some protein and fat. Also, to experiment to see what your body can handle, but in small quantities. Good luck!
