❓We see a lot of questions in our Facebook support group about baby’s movements with gestational diabetes
⠀
❤️ Movements of your baby are a sign that everything is well
⠀
🤰🏾If you experience reduced movements OR a change in your baby’s movements, INCLUDING increased movements then you should seek medical advice immediately from your maternity assessment unit 👩🏽‍⚕️
⠀
💗Kicks Count say:
“Reduced fetal movement can be a sign that the baby is in distress although this is not the only cause.
2 out of 3 mums who have a stillbirth say they noticed their baby’s movements slow down beforehand. It is therefore important that all cases of reduced movement are reported to your midwife or maternity unit.”
⠀
🩸With gestational diabetes you may notice differences in baby’s movements when your BG levels are high OR low.
✅ These changes and differences should ALWAYS still be checked. Don’t just sit back and presume all is well just because your levels are high/low
⠀
❗️With gestational diabetes we have a higher risk of early placenta deterioration / placenta insufficiency. One of the possible symptoms of this is reduced or changes in movements.
⠀
✅ Always play safe and get checked out. You are never wasting anyone’s time, just to call to be seen and get checked 💜

Kung Hei Fat Choi! Happy Chinese New Year everyone

Kung Hei Fat Choi! Happy Chinese New Year everyone! 🎊🏮🧧
⠀
For 2020 Chinese New Year we are celebrating the year of the rat 🐀
⠀
We have a guest post written by Elizabeth Cheung-O’Regan for Gestational Diabetes UK, fellow GD Mumma and GD UK Advisor in our Facebook support group.
⠀
Elizabeth was diagnosed with GDM on Chinese New Years Day which was one of the worst days to be diagnosed on (much like being diagnosed on Christmas Day or Thanksgiving) for her.
⠀
In this post Elizabeth shares some of her favourite Chinese recipes for you to try which follow the 8 Golden Rules of our GD UK diet.

Sugar free biscuits are available everywhere at th

Sugar free biscuits are available everywhere at the moment! Woohooo, surely you can indulge in these wee treats without it impacting your blood sugar levels, right?
⠀
Wrong I'm afraid.
⠀
Whilst these type of biscuits and snacks may be 'sugar free' it does not mean they are carb free or even low carb and as carbs turn into sugar in our bloodstream, these types of biscuits are not much better than 'normal' biscuits.
⠀
What's even more annoying is that these types of products are often packed with polyols (sugar alcohols) which are a type of sweetener. Whilst these sweeteners may not raise blood sugar levels as fast as sugar, certain ones aren't much different on the glycaemic index to sugar itself (malitol which is used in the gullon range being one of them) plus they can cause some embarrassing and uncomfortable side effects such as cramping, wind and diarrhoea 💩💩💩
⠀
My advice, don't get drawn in by the 'sugar free' marketing, definitely do not pay over the odds for these items (yes they may be on a special buy at the moment in stores like Aldi & Lidl, but compare the price to a normal biscuit and I think you’ll see these are overpriced) and eat them sparingly if you do chose to try them.
⠀
Personally I would stick to a digestive well paired or a Nairns oat biscuit instead. Far nicer and won't upset your tummy 👍🏻

With the abundance of ‘high protein’ granolas

With the abundance of ‘high protein’ granolas that have hit the market, we tried out the top 3 widely available ones which looked best nutritionally.
⠀
Unfortunately the results were very disappointing with a hardly anyone being able to achieve below target readings with them 👎🏻
⠀
So after trying lots of different recipes and making some tweaks to fit with the 8 Golden Rules, I’ve made a high protein granola without any added sugar, without any honey, syrups or dates etc.
⠀
Hands up who wants the recipe to try 🙋🏽‍♀️

Saturday night Gin anyone? 🍸🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️
⠀
Yeah right, pregnant and pregnant with GD means even many non alcoholic drinks are off the cards due to the high sugar content 😩
⠀
But have you tried Seedlip?
⠀
Seedlip spirits are a range of non alcoholic spirits which are also sugar and sweetener free. This means that they are a range of drinks that are suitable for gestational diabetes! 🥳
⠀
There are 3 @seedlipdrinks spirits currently available:
⠀
🍊GROVE 42 “A zesty & complex, citrus-forward blend of three types of orange & uplifting spice distillates.”
⠀
🍋SPICE 94 “A complex blend of aromatic Jamaican Allspice berry & Cardamom distillates with two barks & a bright citrus finish.”
⠀
🌱GARDEN 108 “A floral blend of hand-picked Peas & homegrown Hay from founder Ben Branson’s Farm, with traditional garden herb distillates in celebration of the English countryside.”
⠀
If you don’t want to splash out on a large bottle of this until you’ve tried it, then you may want to pop to @hollandandbarrett
who I noticed yesterday have Seedlip on offer at the moment! 5cl for just £1.00 (was £3.00), or 20cl for £8.99 (was £10.99) The large 70cl bottles are also on offer at £21.99 (was £25.99)
⠀
Have a lovely weekend lovelies! Jo 💜

Tray bake meals are something I make weekly for my family of 5. Not only can they be nutritious and filling, but also better for those on a budget too PLUS I love a dish that I can prep and cook all in one pot/pan without any extra faffing!
⠀
This one is chicken and chorizo with Mediterranean roasted vegetables.
⠀
I use either skin on chicken legs, thighs or drumsticks as this keeps the chicken moist, plus you get that lovely crispy chicken skin which is something you definitely want to be eating to help pair your carbs!
⠀
Ingredients:
•4 x skin on chicken legs
•1 x chorizo sausage ring, sliced (mild or spicy depending on your preference)
•1 x onion, cut into wedges (I prefer red onion)
•1 x whole garlic, cloves removed, but skins left on
•1 x aubergine, sliced
•1 x large or 2 x small courgettes, sliced
•1 x yellow pepper, sliced
•1 x red pepper, sliced
•100g pitted black olives
•1 tsp dried oregano
•1 tsp dried thyme
•1 tsp garlic granules
•salt & ground black pepper for seasoning
•2 tsp olive oil for drizzling
⠀
Recipe:
•Pre-heat the oven to 200c (fan)
•Prepare the vegetables and add them to a deep sided roasting pan
•Drizzle with some olive oil, then turn vegetables to coat and space evenly in one layer across the pan
•Add the sliced chorizo, olives and lay chicken pieces on top, skin side up
•Sprinkle the oregano, thyme, garlic granules, salt & black pepper over the chicken evenly and then drizzle with a little olive oil
•Place the tray in the oven for *45-60 mins to bake, or until the chicken skin is golden and crisp (*chicken legs will take longer than thighs & drumsticks) You can also baste the chicken with some of the juices from the pan, halfway through cooking which helps the flavour and moisture
⠀
This can be eaten as is (I usually remove the garlic cloves before serving), with a green salad, or you could add a small serving of complex carbs which you tolerate well. This dish also works well with small new potatoes cooked in the tray!
⠀
Here I’ve served with puy lentils

Lots of you have been in touch over fasting levels

Lots of you have been in touch over fasting levels, asking if there is anything you can do to impact them. So here are a few things that are worth trying.
⠀
It is a slight misconception that NOTHING impacts fasting levels and that it’s purely down to hormones, as there ARE a few things that can contribute to raised fasting levels:-
⠀
🍏What you ate earlier in the evening
⏰When you last ate
💧Hydration levels
😴How well you sleep
☀️The ‘Dawn Phenomenon’
📈The ‘Somogyi Effect’
😫 Stress
🤒 Illness
⠀
However, it’s important to understand that fasting levels are the HARDEST levels to manage and you should not feel upset or disheartened if you cannot lower fasting levels enough and require meds and/or insulin to help lower them. Many of us (including myself) just need that extra help and THAT’S OK 👌🏻
⠀

Obesity is mentioned in the media a lot with regar

Obesity is mentioned in the media a lot with regards to GD and there is a stigma attached to GD diagnosis that only ‘obese’, or overweight’, or ‘unhealthy’ women get diagnosed. Sadly this means that many women feel it is not necessary to be tested because they are not overweight, or those that are diagnosed feel embarrassed or ashamed that they have.
⠀
In our survey (Mar 2018) we received 1,878 responses:
⠀
•BMI (body mass index) of 30 or more 48%
•Family history of diabetes 44.8%
•Aged 35 or over 35.6%
•Had gestational diabetes in a previous pregnancy 24.3%
•Has PCOS 15.5%
•Previously given birth to a baby >10lb 6.8%
•Family origins are South Asian, black Caribbean or Middle Eastern 4.2%
•Pregnant with a multiple birth 1.5%
•NO RISK FACTORS LISTED ABOVE 9.8%
⠀
Obesity was found to be the biggest risk factor (48%) and is the only risk factor that can be impacted by the mother before pregnancy. The rest of the risk factors are genetic or simply cannot be helped and so it could be for this reason that we see so much press around obesity and gestational diabetes risk.
⠀
It should also be noted, that although a BMI of 30 or more was the biggest risk factor found, 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟 (𝟓𝟐%, 𝟗𝟕𝟕 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧) 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐁𝐌𝐈 𝐨𝐟 𝟑𝟎 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞

It should also be noted that these are responses from diagnosed women and we know that in the majority of hospitals, only higher risk women are screened for GD which means that many women may not be diagnosed.
⠀
In this pic you can see Helen @ 35wks pregnant who often had people commenting how could she have gestational diabetes being so slim, even med professionals!

How many of you thought, or think this? ⠀ I woul

How many of you thought, or think this?
⠀
I would like you to read, share and shout this from the rooftops!...
⠀
Eating loads of sweets, sugary food or junk is NOT what ‘causes’ GD and an even bigger surprise may be to hear that ANY pregnant woman can get it!
⠀
We should not feel bad, guilty, or to blame. It should not be a condition that we should feel embarrassed about, or hide from
⠀
It is a condition which is brought on due to pregnancy hormones
⠀
Some women are at a higher risk of developing GD, but I need to make it clear that ANY PREGNANT WOMAN can get it, no matter your size, shape, race, or state of health
⠀
During pregnancy, the body produces a number of hormones, such as oestrogen, progesterone and human placental lactogen (HPL). These hormones make the body insulin resistant, which means the cells respond less well to insulin and the level of glucose in the blood remains high.
⠀
To cope with the increased amount of glucose in the blood, the body needs to produce more insulin. However, some women either cannot produce enough insulin in pregnancy to transport the glucose into the cells, or their body cells are more resistant to insulin.
⠀
When this happens, blood glucose levels remain too high. This is known as gestational diabetes mellitus. Gestational diabetes can also be defined as carbohydrate intolerance.
⠀
If you are one of the ones that is feeling any guilt, shame, embarrassment over GD diagnosis then I urge you to STOP ✋🏽 right now.
⠀
Take some time to read through the info and support we offer and know that alongside an amazing team of healthcare professionals, we have your back and will help you every step of the way!
