It may be tough but try veggie juicing.  Juicing the right veggies and fruits will help a lot with your levels.  I juice 2 stalks of celery, 4 carrots, 1 red Apple, 1 green Apple, half a bunch of spinach and a lemon. I make it 4 days a week and try to use organic ingredients as much as possible. pour over ice and drink w a straw. I just use it as a drink, not a meal replacement. The extra nutrients help you and baby a lot! Good luck!!

Gd is different from being a diabetic. But i am now 34 weeks and they are inducing me on week 37. They didnt think i was gonna make it this far and so far my baby and me are doing good. I literally didnt start having problems with my insulin till around week 32. Around 23 weeks they said she was small but she made up for it within that month. Do the best you can and try not to let the doctors stress you out. Hopefully you have some good doctors like me where they are on top of everything. I have 4 doctors and a dietician and been going to the doctors every two weeks. When i hit 32 weeks i go atleast twice a week. If you have any questions or just wanna vent i am here. Btw since my pregnancy i have been for the most part controlled now thank god.

I didn't know that the meds could stop baby from growing...

I have gestational diabetes too and didn't find out until after a failed glucose test. What meds are you on? I'm on two a pill form twice a day and a shot once at night.
