Thanks for the great links and the info on beans. I love Mexican and Indian food, so beans and lentils are awesome.

I’m glad you were able to find something useful in my post!

To answer your question about beans, OH YES, you can definitely eat beans. In fact, you need to eat a cup of lentils/beans a day to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. I found that the days I ate beans I felt much better (blood sugar was much more balanced) than the days I didn’t. And for the rest of the rules I followed, check out this post: http://www.sydgill.com/gestational-diabetes-the-food/!

Hope that helps and good luck!

This meal plan is a great place for me to start. Weirdly enough, I’ve been super thirsty this pregnancy and craving carbs, which I had cut down on prior to becoming pregnant. My doctor was “upset” at my last appointment because I had already put on 30 lbs (27 weeks) and had GD. I kind of wish I had pushed him looking into my weird symptoms. I’m still waiting to get into the high-risk clinic, so am trying to find ways to adjust my diet. One of my challenges is that I have had severe nausea and vomiting and was put on Diclectin 3/day. My little one doesn’t like it when I eat any citrus (including strawberries). I have recently been able to start eating raw veggies again, which will help. This plan gives me some good ideas. What is your feeling on beans as a protein source? They are higher on carbs, but I really like them. I was wondering about a black bean quesadilla or even baked beans.
