Gestational Diabetes
After having done GTT at 28 weeks, I was told I have Gestational Diabetes. The thing is at fasting, glucose level was normal, after 1 hour (after glucose) it was normal and after 2 hours it was slightly above normal. And my ob/gyn is recommending to keep track of my glucose level (which I am doing like a maniac now) and stick to a glucose-free diet. It is a bit weird as I am, in general, a healthy eater (well maybe an afternoon tea with a small bit of chocolate candy). I am pretty stressed about that, as I want to eat a toast with a jam or a honey for breakfast sometimes, I like grapes. And the stress about not eating what I want (even in moderation) is more devastating than the sugar level.
My DH said forget the diet, eat what you want, but I am hesitating. My mom says the same (as she confirmed we have no family history of any kind of diabetes).
Has anyone come across something like that? Were you keeping diet to keep your sugar level down during pregnancy or chose not to diet?
