I went to the doctor wednesday and my blood sugar was elevated. They put me on a 2200 calorie diabetic diet. Is it really dangerous? And how important is it to follow this diet all the time. Like if im going out to eat and can’t follow it completely is it okay? And can I have some sugar or none at all? Im a lil confused as to what all this is. I didn’t have it with my first daughter. Any advice will help. Thanks in advance.
They didn’t tell me to check my sugar at all. They just put me on the diet.

Stick to the diet as much as possible. If you’re eating out, look for salads + protein and pick a non-sugary dressing. Or go for something that has a lot of protein and avoid the carbs. So like you could order a steak, but ask them to substitute steamed vegetables for the potato that comes with it.

It’s not just avoiding sugar, it’s avoiding simple carbohydrates. White rice, white bread, potatoes, juices, soda – avoid all of that. That’s easy to do at home. Eating out takes some thinking but it doable. Look up the menu online before you go and plan out what will work so you don’t feel pressured at the restaurant.

Thanks in advance.

I too have GD and was informed that stress and hormones play a huge role in your sugar levels, even if you eat the same things every day.
I would never profess to to understand my hormones

A diabetic diet can help stabilize your blood sugar level in your body and if a diabetic does not keep their blood sugar in check, it can result in a lot of medical problems. When a person eats food that contains sugar and carbohydrates, their pancreas starts producing insulin which will carry the sugar into their cells for energy. Without this insulin, the sugar builds up in our system and can cause many unwanted health problems.

Once the sugar is built up in your system for a long period of time, health problems can arise. The sugar will start by destroying your blood vessels. It will soon move on to much bigger organs and can cause you to develop heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage and vision problems. So in order to prevent this from happening and to help keep your body healthy, you need to find out how to effectively lower your blood sugar level.

Im 28 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I just found out that im borderline gestational diabetic. Can i still eat my regular faves like quesadillas and maybe an occasional order of fries if im usually eating only whole wheat and no sweets? Im reallly craving a quesadilla from my favorite resturaunt tonight and i feel as though i deserve it as these last 3 days have been rough completely changing my diet while pregnant. However i dont want to hurt anything either. Im not overweight and never have been even before my pregnany so its not a weight issue.I weighed 117 before pregnancy and since the beginning ive gain ab 30 pounds. Should i go ahead and eat it?

A labor nurse says no.
I don’t think you should have to eat a strict diet though, either.
Talk to your doctor about meeting a nutritionist. He/She should be able to make a daily diet for the number of meals you can eat and with your favorite foods. Good luck–

And just an FYI a normal weight gain is 25-35 pounds–that would put you at only 5 more pounds in 12 more weeks.
