Gestational diabetes breakfast tips

[Gestationaldiabetesannoyance]

My first morning and after breakfast sugar results are always too high. I don’t understand the breakfast reading as I get a high reading after eating exactly what I had a few days ago that gave me a low reading.

i have cheese and a cracker before bed to try to help fasting one but still high each morning. Am on metformin from today but wondered if anyone has any tips in the meantime.

also related the baby is measuring very big. Will they induce me earlier than 39 weeks?

I'm 34w now with GD. Some of the breakfasts that worked for me a month ago don't work any more, e.g. can't have cow's milk (10g sugar per 200ml) so I've switched to unsweetened soya milk. Can't have even avocado with a wheetabix as both combined together may have too much carbs, so I've switched to just a thin piece of oatcake with avocado and that has been fine so far.

Think the GD website (https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/enjoy-food/eating-with-diabetes/gestational-diabetes) recommended that you split your breakfast into two, first one with 15-20g carbs, paired with protein and veg (eggs, sausages, mushrooms etc), then another snack with 15-20g carbs 2hrs later, which I found has worked well for me.
