I don't know what to do I feel so hungry all the time.I have to do excersice also.I have to stic to this plan for 10 days and go for test again.If it does not work out then I have to go for insulin injections daily.GOD knows what gonna happen now.I am feeling weak also now.Now I have my doc. appointment every 2 weeks to observe me .

I am so tensed and need your help friends ,I have started eating kerela and methi seeds too..

Please pray for my baby..I am very depressed.

Nikki
Ritu replied. Pls stick to the diet that the doctor has given . It is a question of only 10 days . It will be beneficial to get normal results right !!!! So just follow the doctors advise strictly pls . however i think you should call and tell the Doc that u are feeling weak so they can make the necessary changes in your diet .
Best of luck

Hi! I am from the Nov board and am suffering from GD as well. Is that all your dietitian recommended?? Are you on a 2000 calorie a day diet? I am surprised because my diet just seems more comprehensive.

Secondly, you shouldnt be eating methi seeds. They may cause pre-term labor and that's the last thing you need right now.

Let me know if you'd like to chat.

PS - When are you due? Bargavi replied. Nikki,
I too feel the diet is very less.
My friend with GD used to have Wheat Dalia instead of rice. That way u can even make like pulao or friedrice with that for a change. Drink more milk and curd. Search the internet I am sure u will find more info. I will surely write back if I find more info
Bargavi Manisha replied. Hi Nikki

that sounds a very restricted diet during pregnancy..
you can eat black chana in any form, its really good for controlling sugar, and otherwise also its good in protein & iron. You can take it in boiled form, or you can get a packet of salted bhuna chana(Swad brand) in indian stores.
If anything else will come to my mind, i'll write you.
good luck
Manisha
