Thanks girls,
You really made me feel so much better after reading your comments on the Glucose Intolerance Test.

I am in week 20 right now. I really do hope diet alone will control it. Funny thing is I don't even overeat, and try and eat fruits and vegetables, but I think its how my body is responding to it.

You guys really made me feel so much better. I just get so caught up emotionally about things my in-laws, people say, and it bothers me,,I know its not good for my little one either.

So nice to have you all there.
Take care and lots of love!!!
P.S. I am from Michigan, where are you guys from?? vidya replied. hi Ritu,
I can understand how u feel when you unexpectedly encounter this..just check the web for good diet ...i came across these articles in 2 websites..

1.a pregnant woman with diabetes (gestational or preexisting) who is of average weight should consume about 2,200 to 2,500 calories a day. This should help her gain the recommended 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy. For women with gestational diabetes, this is divided among three meals and a bedtime snack. Women with preexisting insulin depen-dent diabetes often are advised to eat one or two additional snacks. The diet-itian will recommend a diet that will probably include: 10 to 20 percent of calories from protein (meat, poultry, fish, legumes), less than 30 percent of calories from fats (with less than 10 percent from saturated fats), and the remainder of calories from carbohy-drates (bread, cereal, pasta, rice, fruits and vegetables).
2.Use 1-2 teaspoons of olive or canola oil at most meals. Monounsaturated fats appear to lower cholesterol levels. This might mean an increase in overall fat in your diet, but remember it's the type of fat that's important. Saturated fats, primarily found in animal products and snack foods, should remain low.

Focus on whole grains for your primary carbohydrate sources. Look for the word \";whole\"; in the first ingredient in most of the breads, crackers, cereals, pasta, rice, etc. that you eat on a regular basis. Whole grains contain more fiber and tend to have less effect on blood glucose levels.

Avoid fat-free foods that are high in simple carbohydrates such as refined flour or sugars. Those foods typically raise blood sugar levels rapidly. Examples are fat-free cereal bars, reduced-fat cookies and fat-free ice cream. Check labels to be sure.

Avoid drinking all fruit juices. Fruit juice, even if it is 100 percent juice, is mostly simple carbohydrates that will raise your blood sugar level. Instead of drinking juice, eat fresh fruit in moderation. Too much fruit, more than four servings a day, may raise blood glucose levels.

Use a paper plate divided into three sections as your serving-size guide. The largest section should contain vegetables, the second section whole grains, and the third section protein sources such as poultry, seafood, legumes or tofu. That usually means a decrease in grains and protein and an increase in vegetable servings for most people. The end result should be lower blood sugar and triglyceride levels.

Use legumes often. Legumes such as kidney beans, garbanzo beans and split peas are digested slowly. Their fiber content helps lower cholesterol levels, and their slow digestion helps keep blood sugar levels lower.
Make sure you test your blood sugar to best evaluate which of these suggestions gives you the most desirable results. Your physician can monitor your cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Check with a Registered Dietitian in your area if you have specific questions. This type of diet may give you the desired results, and at the worst it certainly won't hurt. Remember, though, that although many aspects of disease can be improved with a healthy diet and exercise, sometimes our bodies need medication to help them along. It doesn't mean you've failed, just that you need some assistance.

take care...
lots of luv!!!

AB replied. Ritu,
Its nice to know u r feeling better. I know some p'ple instead of comforting create more problems. Anyway, don't worry...here is a good tip my friend found to control her sugar, she used to exercise both mornings and evenings. sometimes, she used to get down for a brisk walk between her office hours, she told me that really halped to balance her sugar with a healthy diet.
So you could try that.

U r in Michigan? I stay in New Jersey. I have a cousin who stays in Detroit,MI.
