Girls with GD

Are you all losing weight on the GD diet/meal plan?

I have to take the 3 hour test on Tuesday morning, my doctor says that I was only 10 points above the "optimal" number but she wants me to take the 3 hour as a precaution.

I think I have been reading that everyone is losing weight after they have been diagnosed nad that makes me nervous, I am 29 weeks, 4 days and have only gained 8lbs total and am still down 5lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. I still struggle with m/s, so I am nervous that if I have GD, I will be losing weight I can't afford to lose.

My mind is running away from me a little bit, but what IS the diet?

i lost weight on this silly diet, my numbers have been fine and i am only failing my fasting with a 97 or so and that is what it was on the 3 hour.... but cutting carbs and sugars have made me lose weight.....

I failed my 3 hour by 7 points, went on a diabetic meal plan for 3 weeks my morning numbers were still high ranging from 94 to 114 so I had to take insulin shots, 1 before dinner and 1 before bedtime, that was the only thing that made my fasting number normal! my breakfast lunch and dinner numbers were always below 120 but my morning number PIA was always above the normal range 60-90 and I would exercise after dinner, keep low carbs at dinner nothing worked.
yes you may lose weight but the difference is you are healthy and so will the baby! and yes you get more sono's to check the babys weight as well. Dont worry the meal plan really isnt that bad, its having to take shots and pricking yourself that suck!!!!
