Following my last post, many of you have asked for

Following my last post, many of you have asked for advice around what to do if you are diagnosed with gestational diabetes late in pregnancy
⠀
Here are my tips on what to do if you are faced with late diagnosis:
⠀
1. Change your diet straight away
Hit the ground running with dietary advice that we know works for a majority of those diagnosed with GDM. Don’t mess around with the riskier choices such as breakfast cereals, fruit as snacks, baked beans, or low fat diet foods. Go straight for a low-carb, high-protein diet. Pairing small amounts of complex carbs with natural fats & lots of protein, serve with plenty leafy green vegetables or green salad, following the #8GoldenRules of #GDFoodPairing
GD UK Diet: www.gestationaldiabetes.co.uk/gestational-diabetes-diet/
Shopping List: www.gestationaldiabetes.co.uk/shopping-list/
⠀
2. Keep a food diary & monitor your blood glucose levels
By keeping a food diary alongside your blood sugar levels it will be much easier to see which foods are causing spikes in levels meaning they can be avoided for better alternatives at this late stage.
With an earlier diagnosis you have more time to tweak foods which may cause higher levels, reducing the carbs & increasing the protein & fats to make them more tolerable. When diagnosis is late in pregnancy, there isn’t enough time to do this
How to test: www.gestationaldiabetes.co.uk/testing-blood-sugar-levels/
When’s best to test: www.gestationaldiabetes.co.uk/blood-sugar-levels/
⠀
3. Harvest colostrum if you plan on breastfeeding
Babies born to diabetic mothers often struggle with their own blood sugar levels after birth. With late diagnosis, baby will have been overproducing their own insulin to process the sugar being fed from the mother. After birth the baby continues to do this and their blood sugar levels can drop very low. To counteract this, the baby has to feed, feed, feed. Lots of skin to skin and breastfeeding helps lots but sometimes baby will need additional top up feeds in between breastfeeds. Having a store of colostrum to hand means you have this ready to go.
Formula also works but much more is needed than with colostrum

𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 ⚠️
⠀
Why is it so important that gestational diabetes is diagnosed and managed properly?
⠀
Unfortunately there is much more to be concerned with than ‘𝚓𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚊 𝚋𝚒𝚐 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢’ with gestational diabetes
⠀
Undiagnosed or poorly controlled gestational diabetes can cause many complications and it is important to share a harsh reality of undiagnosed GDM... stillbirth
⠀
For diabetes week in 2018 I shared Leanne & Matt’s story, which is the pregnancy and birth of their son William who was born sleeping due to undiagnosed GD
⠀
I also share Abby’s story and Charly’s story. Two more mothers that experienced stillbirths due to UNDIAGNOSED gestational diabetes
⠀
I don’t post these stories to scare and worry people, but to try to raise awareness over gestational diabetes diagnosis and how important it is
⠀
‼️‼️‼️‼️

🥕🥬🧅Coleslaw can be a great accompaniment

🥕🥬🧅Coleslaw can be a great accompaniment to dishes to help increase the fibre and natural fats, both helping with reducing the postprandial (post-meal) spike in blood glucose levels
⠀
Full-fat coleslaw is best, as we need those fats found in full-fat mayonnaise, however if you need to follow a low-fat diet for other dietary reasons, then low-fat versions can also be used. Likewise, if you need to follow a plant-based diet, vegan mayonnaise can be used in these recipes as an alternative
⠀
Coleslaw is so quick & easy to make, and it can be so cheap to whip up a big bowl to last a few days, so I’ve just added my trusty coleslaw recipes to the website, FREE for all to try:
⠀
•Coleslaw (a tangy yet creamy coleslaw)
•Kickin’ Coleslaw 🌶 (a coleslaw with a big spicy kick!)
•Pink Pickled Slaw (a slaw without mayo, instead it is pickled)
•Waldorf Salad (a low-carb version of a Waldorf salad, with white cabbage, celery, green apples, walnuts in a mayonnaise dressing)
•Celeriac Remoulade (a French classic of julienned celeriac in a creamy mayonnaise dressing)

“Have I been misdiagnosed?” ⠀ This is someth

“Have I been misdiagnosed?”
⠀
This is something that comes up A LOT
⠀
You’re diagnosed with gestational diabetes after having a glucose tolerance test (GTT) you start monitoring blood glucose levels, but all your levels are BELOW the recommended targets. How can this be? Surely this means that you’ve been misdiagnosed?
⠀
YES, of course misdiagnosis CAN happen. However, it is not something seen often. From examples I’ve seen in my Facebook group, false-positive misdiagnosis has been more common due to human error, as opposed to the accuracy of the GTT ie. the patient did not fast before the GTT, bloods being taken before the 2-hour time limit, or a patients data being muddled up
⠀
It’s important to know that you can be diagnosed from any of the blood samples taken during a GTT. A fasting level, or the post glucose level (in some hospitals they take blood samples at 1hr & 2hrs post glucose) any 3 of these readings being over a threshold can mean a diagnosis of GDM
⠀
You may also be diagnosed from a single blood test, such as a fasting blood glucose, or a HbA1c test
⠀
With the GTT, you are given a measured glucose amount, 75g of carbs. Bloods are taken after fasting, then again at 2hrs to see how well the body has processed the glucose
⠀
During this time, the patient should NOT drink water or walk around as these 2 things will help process the glucose & reduce the post glucose result which can cause a false-negative result
⠀
A 75g carb load is a very large amount of glucose to be ingested at one time. It is the equivalent to 18.75 tsp of sugar!
⠀
It is unlikely that you will consume this amount of sugar/carbs within your normal daily diet in one hit, so this may be one reason you don’t see above target readings when you start monitoring daily blood sugar levels
⠀
Another important point to note is that insulin resistance worsens as the pregnancy progresses so many will monitor levels, be fine to start with, but as the pregnancy goes on, they start to see higher levels. The time where we are most insulin resistant is around 32-36 wks

The flavours of Frozen Yogurt Bark shown in the images are:
🍓 🥥 Berries & Coconut (strawberry, raspberry, blueberry & coconut flakes)
🫐🍓🥜🌱Fresh Berries, Nut & Seed Mix (berries, almonds, chia seeds & fresh mint)

🍊🍋Citrus: zest of lemon & orange, half an orange segmented, juice of a lemon and half an orange
🥥Lime & Coconut: coconut yogurt with zest & juice of 1 lime, toasted desiccated coconut to top

“Where can I buy sugar free ice lollies?” ⠀

“Where can I buy sugar free ice lollies?”
⠀
...something that gets asked a lot in my Facebook group
⠀
There’s a few no added sugar lollies you can buy but some peeps struggle to find them in local stores and some lollies can be full of artificial sweeteners that may raise blood glucose levels 😖
⠀
So why not grab some lolly moulds and make your own truly sugar-free lollies?!
⠀
These can be so cheap, made to your own tastes and dietary restrictions/requirements AND absolutely delicious!
⠀
Here is a selection of lollies I made with my boys and some inspiration for you:-
⠀
🍓 strawberries & real double cream
🥥 lime & full fat coconut milk
🍫 melted dark chocolate & double cream
🍏 🌸apple & elderflower no added sugar squash & fresh blackberries
🍊orange no added sugar squash with a tiny amount of fresh orange segments
🥤diet caffeine free cola
⠀
These are just a few ideas using bits and bobs I had around the house, but there’s lots of other flavours you could try!
⠀
Remember if using fruit, stick to lower carb (low GI fruits), keep the amounts small and try to pair using things like cream, peanut butter or coconut milk 🥥🥛

Can the heat affect your blood glucose levels if y

Can the heat affect your blood glucose levels if you have gestational diabetes? YES!

Here are a few things you should know...
⠀
💧🥤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, spf sun lotion, avoid sitting out at the hottest part of the day & don’t over do it! People with diabetes are at higher risk of heat exhaustion
