So remember the Gestational Diabetes?<\/p>\n

Well they put me on a special diet. I am down to 12 to 13 servings of carbohydrates a day. A serving equals 15 grams of carbs. This breaks down to two servings of dairy, four servings of fruit and nine servings of grains. I can eat a lot of lean meats and even more vegetables. Fats are also AOK!<\/p>\n

So by the third day of this diet, I was alternating between hormonal crying and homicidal ranges. Seriously, I cried more in three days than I have my entire pregnancy. You can send your condolences to the Husband Unit.<\/p>\n

I had gone out an bought three diabetic cookbooks, but since they are written for poeple eating three meals a day, not the six that I have been told to eat, they din’t help that much. It took me three hours to plan the week’s menu and coming up with a shopping list.<\/p>\n

My blood sugars were also bizarre. There was at least one day that my blood sugar one hour after dinner was lower than my blood sugar after a night of sleep and fasting.<\/p>\n

So I emailed the nutritionist suring one of my sobbing fits and she called me right away Monday. After several questions, she decided to adjust my meal plan. Now I can eat my grains mostly around the big meals. Fruits and dairy get eaten as my snacks. I also get more of them.<\/p>\n

And surprise, surprise, I am fine now. I get to eat normal meals and have stopped packing heat. I’ve even been able to have a couple of pieces of chocolate. Carbs are my friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
