Can you hear me at the back?
⠀
Needing to take insulin and/or taking medication for Gestational Diabetes or diabetes in pregnancy does NOT mean you are a failure because you didn’t manage to control by diet alone!
⠀
I completely understand the feelings, emotions, worries and fears when having to start insulin. I too sat in my car crying at the thought of having to inject insulin as I’d ‘failed’ to control my levels through diet alone, even more so as someone with a huge fear of needles.
⠀
The worries of more needles every day on top of the finger pricks, worries about having hypos, worries about driving or being on my own, not knowing what it meant for the rest of my pregnancy, my baby and the birth.
⠀
I also needed insulin from the very early weeks in my second pregnancy and from the first few days after falling pregnant with my third (and I’m still diabetes free 2 years on from having my last GD baby and 11 years on from having my first GD baby!)
⠀
If it gets to the point that you can no longer tolerate small amounts of well paired carbs without seeing over target BG levels, or if you see that your baby’s growth seems to be excessively increasing then you too may be advised to start Metformin and/or insulin to help.
⠀
If this is you, please make yourself a cuppa, put your feet up and have a look at these posts which could help you LOADS!...

Midweek favourite... Spag Bol 🍝
⠀
Great for fussy eaters as you can pack tons of veggies in this one which give it great flavour and lots of extra nutrients & fibre without them even knowing #MumTips
⠀
Even if you’re the self confessed fussy eater, you have to give this one a go and you’ll not go back to using jar sauces again! 👌🏻
⠀
Go on, give it a go! It’s on the website in the free example meal plan, or as a free recipe on its own (link in bio for those on Instagram)
⠀
It’s low carb, sugar free and can be made gluten free, vegetarian or vegan

🩸When monitoring blood glucose levels we need to have clean, dry hands. Not only for obvious hygiene reasons when poking ourselves with a needle, but to also ensure that we get the most accurate possible readings.
⠀
💧Good hand washing means using water and soap to get our hands clean, but did you know that most hand soaps and sanitisers contain GLYCERIN (also called glycerine or glycerol) and this can cause false high BG levels if not washed from the skin before testing.
⠀
👉🏻Therefore it’s extremely important to thoroughly wash any soap from your hands (or just wash with clean hot water), dry and then test.
⠀
😰If you get a strangely high BG level that is unexpected, re-wash your hands in just hot water, dry and re-test to check that it is not a contaminated reading. Then record your results with a note to explain the reason for re-testing for your team to see

When should you take your fasting levels? ⠀ The

When should you take your fasting levels?
⠀
The majority of women with GD will be asked to take a daily fasting reading
⠀
This is a blood glucose level taken first thing in the morning...
⠀
1. Wake Up 🥱
2. Wee (I’ve added this in because I don’t know a pregnant Mumma who doesn’t need a wee as soon as she wakes up!) 🚽
3. Wash hands 🧼
4. Test 🩸
⠀
If you brush your teeth, have a shower, run around after your kids, have a coffee etc and then test this can impact your fasting level and give a false fasting reading ❌
⠀
You may have noticed your fasting BG level is better or worse depending on different factors, like getting up and having a shower etc.
⠀
Don’t try to manipulate your readings so that you achieve a recorded lower than target reading - this is only cheating your baby! We are gathering this information so that we can truly see what our body is doing when fasting
⠀
Stick to the same rules every day, whether you’re up early for work or on the school run or having a lie in
⠀
Fasting levels are an important level to evaluate as they show an indicator of your true baseline BG levels (what your body is doing when we are not active and when food or drink has been processed)
⠀

Saturday night takeaway? 🍕🥘🍗🍟🍔🍜

Saturday night takeaway? 🍕🥘🍗🍟🍔🍜
⠀
Many ladies will still have a treat of a takeaway with gestational diabetes and why not? As long as it’s not everyday then it’s one treat that you can adapt and still enjoy without causing high blood sugar levels.
⠀
Making the right choices with the type of takeaway you choose and sticking our 8 golden rules will help you make better choices when it comes to having a night off cooking and getting a treat but it’s all about being careful with your choices.
⠀
Many Indian or Chinese dishes contain added sugar. There’s the obvious ones to avoid such as sweet & sour, plum & BBQ sauce etc. and be very careful with a takeaway carb overload!
⠀
Be wary of dishes you perhaps didn’t expect having added sugar, like korma and butter chicken, crispy seaweed.
⠀
If in doubt then ask, many restaurants & takeaways will happily make the dishes without the added sugar in them for you, but if you don’t ask you don’t get!
⠀
The reason I’m sharing this post is that depending on what your diabetes team advises, you may try some takeaways and be led to believe that they give you even better results than your healthy GD food cooked from scratch⁉️
⠀
But actually, it all comes down to WHEN you are advised to test your blood sugar levels & the TARGETS used.
⠀
For many meals, a one hour post meal test will give a good indication as to whether you are tolerating a dish or not, however there’s a big exception to this and that’s food exactly like this!
⠀
𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 and so that lovely low reading you got at one hour may be BEFORE your levels spike!
⠀
This is due to the high fat content of these types of meals.
⠀
With this in mind it is worth testing your blood sugars at 1hr AND 2hrs post meal.
⠀
If you don’t have a target for these times then the gold standard target to use are the NICE guidelines:
• <7.8 after 1 hr
• <6.4 after 2 hrs

Yesterday I posted about insulin controlled mother

Yesterday I posted about insulin controlled mothers being wary over hypos due to the heat, but is there anything else you should be mindful of?...
⠀
💧🥤Stay hydrated! If you become dehydrated you run the risk of higher blood glucose levels & ketones
⠀
😎 Keep your kit cool! Insulin, test strips & your blood glucose monitor can all be affected by extreme temperatures. It is best to keep testing equipment & insulin out of direct sunlight & hot conditions
⠀
😖 Increased risk of hypos for mothers who use insulin as heat can increase the absorption of some fast-acting insulins
⠀
👀⛔️ Signs that’s insulin has been heat damaged & should be disposed of:
•cloudy insulin may look grainy & stick to the sides of the glass in the insulin pen
•clear insulin may become cloudy
•insulin may turn brownish in colour
⠀
⏰ 🍓🥜 Try to eat little & often! Many do not feel like eating much in warmer weather, but going long periods of time without eating means BG levels drop low then the liver dumps glucose into the bloodstream causing spikes. The best way to stabilise BG levels is to keep eating little & often (ideally 3 meals & 3 snacks a day)
⠀
🧢🧴 Stay sun safe! Wear a hat, sun lotion, avoid sitting out at the hottest part of the day & don’t over do it! Diabetics are at higher risk of heat exhaustion

☀️You may find a big difference in your blood sugar levels in hot conditions and so it’s important to be prepared!
⠀
🩸📉There is a risk of more hypos in hot weather for those taking insulin or Glibenclamide. Heat can increase the absorption of some fast-acting insulin, meaning you may need to test your blood glucose more often and perhaps adjust your dose of insulin
⠀
👩🏽‍⚕️Please note: you should consult a medical professional before adjusting your dose of insulin, unless you have already been given guidance
⠀
🏃‍♀️The body’s metabolism is higher in hot and humid weather as it is working much harder and so if you are taking insulin or Glibenclamide to help control your blood glucose levels then be prepared in case you have a hypo (levels below 4.0mmol/L)
⠀
🧃🍪Know the symptoms and have a hypo kit to hand. To learn about hypos and how to treat them, please take a look at www.gestationaldiabetes.co.uk/hypos/
⠀
🍏🥜Those that are diet controlled or on Metformin and notice low levels only need to eat a GD suitable snack or their next meal to raise levels sufficiently, rather than treating their levels with anything high in glucose. This is because those that aren’t on insulin injections can not drop to dangerously low levels as the body will release glucose to counteract the low. This is known as a false hypo. Find out more at www.gestationaldiabetes.co.uk/false-hypos/
⠀
😖If you struggle to treat a hypo and cannot raise your BG levels sufficiently, or continue to have multiple hypos a day then it is important to seek medical advice
⠀
🚑Frequent hypos can also be a sign of early placenta deterioration/placenta insufficiency and so it is important to get checked out if you notice frequent hypos

The same day I cracked the vegan & nut free Millionaire’s Shortbread tweaks I also cracked this beauty!!
⠀
I’m a huge fan of my no-bake cheesecakes (which are all available in the free recipes) because they’re yummy and so quick & easy to make!
⠀
But I wanted to attempt a sugar free, low carb baked cheesecake for the membership recipes, especially since my no-bake cheesecakes were all membership recipes which I’ve now made free so wanted to replace them with something
⠀
I think this one should go down well, it’s a long bake but is definitely worth the wait!
⠀
Once again, I need some time to type up the recipe, so watch this space 👀 and I’ll let you know when it’s launched!

Sharing again... One of the most commonly seen pie

Sharing again... One of the most commonly seen pieces of dietary information we see given to pregnant diabetic mothers is to try weetabix or porridge for breakfast as these are ‘better’ choices
⠀
Now I know what these type of breakfasts did to my BG levels in my 1st GD pregnancy and have seen over the years of running my Facebook group the impact they’ve had on a majority of Mums, but I thought I’d test to see the impact they have as a NON-diabetic
⠀
I tried 3 different breakfasts:-
🥄2 x weetabix with whole milk
🥣40g porridge oats with whole milk
🥚1 egg omelette with cheese, tomato, spinach & a splash of whole milk
⠀
(I used lacto-free milk which has less impact on BG levels too)
⠀
Please take a look at the 3 images and you can see the results of these 3 breakfasts when testing at 15 minute intervals
⠀
The most surprising thing to see was that even as a non-diabetic, my BG levels at 1hr were above what is recommended by NICE as a 1hr post prandial level in pregnancy (<7.8mmol/L)
⠀
Add the increased insulin resistance of having diabetes in pregnancy and it’s no great surprise to see mothers not being able to tolerate these types of things!
⠀
Therefore, those that are recommending pregnant Mums eat cereal for breakfast are setting them up to fail before they’ve even started and that’s just not fair 👎🏻
⠀
When I ran a survey in 2016 of 916 women, a staggering 91% of women with GD could not tolerate breakfast cereals suggested by their dietitian such as bran flakes, Weetabix or porridge
⠀
We are more insulin resistant in the mornings and so it’s perfectly fine to cut back on the starchy carbs at this time of day and then in-corporate them into snacks and the rest of the meals throughout the day if you need
⠀
There are lots of better options other than cereals for breakfast and I really wish this information would be changed
⠀
Please like & share to raise awareness 🙌🏼

I’ve shared the ones to avoid, so it’s only fair to share a post on the non alcoholic drinks that you CAN safely have during diabetic pregnancy...
⠀
Top place has to go to Seedlip!
⠀
If you want a completely carb free, YES they’re ZERO carb, sweetener free, non-alcoholic treat then try out the Seedlip spirits which are lovely and very popular with #GDUKMums
There are 3 flavours to try:
🍊Grove 42
🍋Spice 94
🌾Garden 108
⠀
🍻If you like craft ales, Brewdog Nanny State Alcohol Free Hoppy Ale has just 3.3g carbs or just under 1 tsp of sugar per 330ml can
⠀
🍺Or if lager is more your thing then Becks Blue contains 8.5g carbs or just over 2 tsp of sugar per 275ml bottle and is the lowest carb alcohol free lager I’ve been able to find. This will obviously still raise blood glucose levels so you need to bear this in mind as liquid carbs will always spike levels faster and higher than food which has to been broken down and digested. Therefore it is best to pair your Becks Blue with something like nuts or seeds!
⠀

The weather is warm, lots of BBQs going on and lots of ladies asking about non-alcoholic drinks 🍺🍹🍷🍸
⠀
A word of warning!⚠️ the majority of non-alcoholic drinks contain high amounts of carbs (sugar!)
⠀
For example a popular choice are Kopparberg non-alcoholic ciders but these fruity ciders contain whopping amounts of carbs which in liquid form will spike blood glucose levels through the roof within minutes!!
⠀
🍒🍎the smaller 330ml mixed fruit Kopparberg contains the equivalent of just over 7.5 tsp of sugar
🍓🍐the larger strawberry & lime and pear 500ml Kopparberg ciders which contain just over 12.5 tsp & 12.75 tsp of sugar per bottle!
⠀
Imagine putting that amount of sugar in a cup of tea or coffee 🤢
⠀
This is the same case for the majority of low or no alcohol wines 🍷 and mocktails 🍹The fruit and added sugars are just far too high in carbs to be safely drunk during diabetic pregnancy so it’s best to steer clear ⚠️
⠀
🍺Lower carb non-alcoholic beers can be found such as Brewdog Nanny State Alcohol Free Hoppy Ale which has just under 1 tsp of sugar per 330ml or Becks Blue which contains 2 tsp of sugar per 275ml bottle
⠀
If you want a carb free non-alcoholic treat then try out the Seedlip drinks which are lovely 🍸
