Hands up who felt like a fish out of water when diagnosed with gestational diabetes and trying to figure out what to eat?
⠀
I see so many Mums struggling with how many grams of carbs to eat, spending hours in the supermarket trying to read every single nutritional label only to end up feeling frustrated, upset and even more confused.
⠀
Should it be total carbs, or total sugar that we look at and what’s the limit?
⠀
Should it be low fat and fat free, or full fat products?
⠀
Should it be lots of healthy fruits and grains?
⠀
Should we just eat what we normally do, then test to see what levels we get?
⠀
Should we pick gluten free or sugar free products?
⠀
It’s soooo confusing! 🤔
⠀
I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to feel this way, because after 3 GD pregnancies, a ton of research on different diets and impact on blood glucose levels and helping well over 15k pregnant mothers with GD, I have info and support along with shopping lists and recipes so that you can hit the ground running! So keep swiping right and check out my basic info and 8 Golden Rules which will make following a real food Gestational Diabetes diet so much easier!

THE SUN IS SHINING ☀️ So I’m sure lots of you will be enjoying barbecues today
⠀
Barbecues can be FAB for gestational diabetes as long as you make the right choices!
⠀
Take a look at my BBQ post where I’ve shared tons of recipes and ideas along with things to watch out for. A BBQ can easily become a carb fest if you pick the wrong things, so it’s all about knowing which foods to fill your plate with!

Enjoy the sunshine everyone 😎

Breakfast is the hardest meal of the day to achiev

Breakfast is the hardest meal of the day to achieve good blood glucose levels, this is because we are more insulin resistant in the morning following a rise in hormones from the ‘dawn phenomenon’ (you can read more about the Dawn Phenomenon on the GD UK website, just search ‘Dawn phenomenon’
⠀
For many ladies it makes breakfast one of the worst meals to include carbs into. Many have to avoid starchy carbs at breakfast and incorporate them into other meals and snacks later in the day
⠀
Eggs are one of the best breakfasts to keep blood glucose levels lowered and stabilised, but many ladies start feeling like they will turn into an egg if they eat them one more day!
⠀
If you’re feeling like this then there’s a few recipes you could try which incorporate the goodness of eggs without tasting of eggs such as my pancake recipes or my homemade granola which uses egg white to coat and bind the granola pieces, just have a search through recipe index and you’ll find lots of free recipes
⠀
If you have Bronze or Silver GD UK Membership then you also have access to my breakfast muffins recipes;
⠀
•Blueberry breakfast muffins
•Lemon & poppyseed breakfast muffins
•Nut free blueberry breakfast muffins
•Savoury breakfast muffins
⠀
These make for a great breakfast that you can make in advance and then have to hand in the morning. They’re also great snacks and are perfect for packing into your hospital bag in a container so that you aren’t stuck eating the typical hospital breakfast of cereal, toast and fruit juice 😳

When you fancy traditional Victoria sponge but you

When you fancy traditional Victoria sponge but you have gestational diabetes 😩 Turn that frown upside down and make yourself a GD UK Victoria Sponge
⠀
I have 2 Victoria sponge recipes in the GD UK Membership recipes:
1) My original recipe which contains nuts
2) My nut free version which was developed a while after the original recipe
⠀
This one is the nut free version and instead of using fresh sliced strawberries, I made raspberry raw chia seed jam for an even more authentic tasting Victoria Sponge and it is simply delicious!
⠀
Nut free, gluten free, low carb, sugar free & vegetarian 👌🏻
⠀
Bronze & Silver members can find this recipe after logging in @ www.gestationaldiabetes.co.uk/victoria-sponge-nut-free/
⠀
To find the recipe directly from Instagram, please find my link in bio @gestational_diabetes_uk to the recipe index and search for ‘Victoria Sponge’

Fragrant spicy Thai Green Curry packed with extra

Fragrant spicy Thai Green Curry packed with extra vegetables and lots of coconut milk. The perfect gestational diabetes curry to serve with a small serving of whole grain basmati rice
⠀
My Thai Green Curry is made with Quorn pieces, but you can swap this for tofu, chicken, pork or prawns to your liking. The Quorn in this dish alongside full fat coconut milk make this curry a great pairing tool for the rice served with it
⠀
This is one of my popular GD UK Membership recipes for Bronze & Silver Members and it’s was time for some new pics...so here it is!😋

Whether you’re pricking your finger multiple times a day, or pricking fingers AND injecting insulin multiple times a day (and some of you may be lucky enough to be on blood thinners too 😩) I think it’s fair to say we deal with enough pricks already! 😝

Today I’ve been updating the high fasting levels

Today I’ve been updating the high fasting levels article on the website
⠀
High fasting levels are one of the biggest challenges many mothers with gestational diabetes will face
⠀
High fasting levels are typically less responsive to diet or lifestyle changes meaning many will need the additional support of Metformin and/or insulin BUT THAT’S OK ladies! So please do not beat yourself up should you need that extra help
⠀
In this article I share info on the causes of high fasting levels and then some things you can try to help lower fasting levels before or alongside medication:-
⠀
•walking after the evening meal
•eating less carbs in the evening meal (but still incorporating a small serving)
•drinking plenty of water
•trying different high protein bedtime snacks
•taking 2tbsp of apple cider vinegar & 1oz of cheese before bed
•myo-Inositol supplementation
•starting Metformin and/or insulin
•increasing doses of meds/insulin as needed
⠀
I also share lots of evidence-based research on why fasting levels are important to manage in diabetic pregnancy and why you should not become complacent or ‘accepting’ of continually high fasting levels. If you need more help then please ask your diabetes team and if you have any difficulties with getting their support then please raise any concerns with PALs. Pregnant women should not be left struggling with high fasting levels
⠀
The NICE guidelines recommend fasting levels should be below 5.3mmol/L
⠀
Please take a look at the article @ www.gestationaldiabetes.co.uk/high-fasting-levels/ or for those on Instagram, please find the link in my bio @gestational_diabetes_uk

Tuesday Tuna Pasta Bake ⠀ Whole wheat brown past

Tuesday Tuna Pasta Bake
⠀
Whole wheat brown pasta, plenty of tuna, sweet tomatoes, broccoli, peppers and a crisp cheesy top, this is my tuna pasta bake recipe. Made from scratch with store cupboard essentials but you won’t find any packet mixes or jars of sauces used in my recipe. This tuna pasta bake is made from scratch
⠀
Reheating cooked pasta helps to lower the glycemic index and may make pasta dishes more tolerable. Therefore if you struggle to tolerate pasta, try making a dish like this, allow it cool, refrigerate it overnight and then try a small portion reheated to see if you can tolerate it better!
⠀
⚠️ Pasta dishes such as this can be very difficult to tolerate if the protein and extra fats are removed
⠀
The tuna, black olives, cheese and cream all help to pair the carbs from the pasta and vegetables
⠀
I know tuna pasta bake often cries out for sweetcorn, however it’s just too much (too high in carbs) to add on top of the pasta & tomatoes
⠀
🐟Fish does not pair carbs as well as meat, so this is a more risky recipe alongside the pasta, tomatoes and peppers that should only be tried if you tolerate pasta well as a carb, or if you have better tolerance to most foods
⠀
📖 UK Guidance on eating tuna in pregnancy; The current guidance is that you should eat no more than 4 medium-sized cans of tuna per week this is due to the mercury content in tuna

A busy weekend plastering and decorating my bathroom but between waiting for things to dry I thought I’d bake up a batch of cheese scones
⠀
I’ve been meaning to re-make my wholemeal cheese scones for a while because I want some better pics for the website. The sun wasn’t shining unfortunately ☁️☁️☁️ and so #todaysmealonthewall isn’t as bright as I wanted, but hey ho, still super yummy 😋
⠀
These scones are lower carb, egg free, nut free and vegetarian. They work perfectly as a snack with a big knob of real butter, cream cheese or sour cream, or some extra cheese 🧀
⠀
These are a perfect snack to bake and then pop in a container to take to hospital because they keep fine at room temp ✅
⠀
If you’d like to try my cheese scone recipe, you can find it at www.gestationaldiabetes.co.uk/cheese-scones/ or if you’re on Instagram take a look at my link in my bio @gestational_diabetes_uk to find the recipe index and search for ‘scones’

Livlife bread (my no1 recommended bread) has a new look! So don’t miss it if you’re looking for it!
⠀
Livlife got in touch to send me a loaf of their new look bread as they know it is listed as my No1 bread on my best breads article & they wanted me to share the new look packaging with you all
⠀
Why is it my top recommended bread? Because it’s the lowest carb, high protein & fat bread you can buy in a shop AND it tastes lovely!
⠀
This was my go-to bread in my pregnancies as I really struggled to tolerate bread but with plenty of extra pairing this was a bread I could actually tolerate!
⠀
LivLife Super Seeded with half the carbs is the best sliced loaf of bread I can find in shops at 7.6g carbs, 13.4g protein & 4.8g fat for 2 (Yes TWO) slices of the 500g loaf!
⠀
A low carb, high protein bread that is great for toast or sandwiches alike. This bread is available to purchase from Waitrose & Ocado & is suitable for vegans
⠀
www.gestationaldiabetes.co.uk/best-breads/ for those on Instagram please use my link in my bio @gestational_diabetes_uk to find the Best Breads post
⠀
I made some french toast AKA eggy bread with 2 slices of Livlife
Ingredients:
• 2 slices of Livlife bread
• 2 eggs (lightly whisked)
• 60ml double cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp real butter
• 1/2 tsp olive oil
⠀
Recipe:
• whisk together the eggs, cream, vanilla, cinnamon & nutmeg until combined
• lay the Livlife bread in a dish and pour over the mixture - allow to sit in the mix for 2 mins, then turn over to sit for another 2 mins
• Add the olive oil & butter to a hot pan. Once the butter is bubbling add the soaked bread and allow to cook until golden, then flip to cook on the other side
⠀
Mine is served with full fat Greek yog, xylitol, blueberries & seeds

Apparently we’re in for some lovely hot weather

Apparently we’re in for some lovely hot weather the next few days, but what does that mean if you have gestational diabetes?
⠀
💧🥤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

It’s been a really tough couple of weeks in our

It’s been a really tough couple of weeks in our Facebook support group. There’s been some heated debates around a few subjects such as remaining diet-controlled with GD vs needing meds, following medical advice vs questioning & making informed decisions and whether it’s ok or nothing to worry about to have consistently over target fasting levels & the possible consequences it may have in a diabetic pregnancy
⠀
I think having GD during a pandemic is causing so much more stress & negativity (which of course is to be expected.) But we are baring the brunt of a lot of venting and upset with some, with a lot of abuse & nastiness directed at us. Because it is most definitely something we are seeing and feeling
⠀
It’s hard work running and moderating a Facebook group with 12,000+ members
I believe my admin team go above and beyond what I have seen on ANY other group or forum with regards to the amount of information and support they offer (for free on a voluntary basis) EVERY SINGLE DAY
⠀
Sadly, we won’t always tell mums what they ‘WANT’ or would ‘LIKE’ to hear & this can upset some members if they are given info which is contrary to what their health care team may have said or they’ve been ‘led’ to believe
⠀
The information and guidance given is always given to enable mothers to be able to find out more, to ask questions, read the evidence-based research and/or shared experiences & make informed decisions to ensure the best possible outcomes in a diabetic pregnancy. Not to upset or make life difficult. It is shared with the best intentions BECAUSE WE CARE! 🥰
⠀
We cannot not filter out or censor what members share or feel in their posts
⠀
After a really tough week which included a lot of abuse & nastiness from women that have had TONS of help & support from my team and myself, only for them to go onto other forums/groups/social media platforms and bash GD UK it has been upsetting & hurtful. So this morning it was absolutely wonderful seeing such a positive post in the Facebook group and I just had to share it with you all. Because if we played a part in this Mum feeling like she does, then that’s all I ever wanted to do with Gestational Diabetes UK ❤️ and I’m #winning
