Only 29+4 and I’m already sick and tired of GD! I got told I have it 3 weeks ago and these 3 weeks have been the longest ever! I want bubble tea sooo badly right now (passion fruit tea with blueberry boba) but I can’t have it. I want pizza but I can’t have it. I want dumplings 🥺 I’m already so sick and tired of eating the same chicken/veg, fish/veg for dinner every night that I physically feel sick thinking about it. I miss my orange juice. I know this is all for the betterment of me and my baby but the next 8-10 weeks feel like a lifetime away! Please can you guys give me some yummy meal ideas, snack ideas and drink ideas? It would mean so much to me. 🥺

I’m so so glad I’m at least able to have OPPO ice cream without it at all affecting my blood sugars (tested 1 and 2 hours later) so that’s good. I actually feel like it helps to keep my blood sugars in the normal range whenever I eat that ice cream, as crazy as that sounds!

Meal and drink ideas please guys! I feel like I’m never full no matter what I eat because previously, my meals used to be so carb based. Sometimes when I test (usually after I wake up) my levels are actually low. I had a sleep in this morning and woke up at midday, my fasting level was 3.4! What should I do when my blood levels get low? Eat anything, or eat something sugary? I haven’t had an appointment with the dietitian yet and the diabetic midwife and the hospital wasn’t much help tbh. Sorry for the rant!

@LadybirdsAreNeverHappy omg seriously, they didn’t even give you a testing kit? They sound so unprofessional and bad! I’m so sorry to hear this 🥺

@SheilasLemonade how should I do a spike test for the OPPO? I’ll do that for sure. ☺️

Thank you so much guys for your help. My levels only went up twice so far after dinner and they were around 8 both times, I don’t remember exactly how much. I’ll probably give them a call tomorrow and then see what they say ☺️
