You will need about 300 extra calories a day, you will need to count carbs, snack before bedtime, and eat three times a day. Try asking your doctor for a eating plan.
Don't increase your insulin intake without talking to your doctor.
20 carbs are allowed on Atkins per day.
You should eat about 200 carbs a day.
At least 10 carbs a day
If you are carb counting, one carb does equal 15 grams. Carb counting is something that those with diabetes often do.
It depends, because if you are on 2 injections a day then it means you would have to cut down on carbohydrate and sugar and do extra injections with a "rapid" which is a fast acting substance, if you are on 4 injections a day, then you basically have the same diet but you have to "carbohydrate count" where you work out how many carbs you eat at each meal, and depending on what the ration your G.P has given you, you then work out how many units of insulin to inject. e.g my ratio at lunch is 1:10 and lets say i have a sandwich of 40 carbs, i will have 4 units of rapid insulin (other diabetics may have a different insulin).
If you are ever faced with gestational diabetes while you are pregnant, there is no need to be alarmed. This is simply a condition where the body does not produce enough insulin while pregnant, and the blood sugar levels are increased. There is no indication that you will or will not have diabetes after the baby is born, but some women who have gestational diabetes do develop the disease later in life. There is no specific cause for the condition, but some doctors think that the placenta could be a factor. It is important to be tested for the condition so that you can take care of your baby while you are pregnant. Babies who are born to mothers who have gestational diabetes are sometimes larger and have low blood sugar levels after birth. After you have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, you will be given a diet to follow. You also need to monitor your blood sugar levels on a regular basis. Many women check their level in the morning and in the evening. Your doctor needs to know what your levels are in order to determine if more treatment is needed. It is possible that if the blood sugar levels cannot be controlled with diet and exercise, you will need to receive insulin injections. There are several foods that you should and should not eat while you are pregnant with the condition. If you drink soda, you need to stop drinking it until after the baby is born. You can drink milk, water and some sodas that are sugar free. Avoid eating foods that have a lot of sugar in them. These foods include candy, potato chips, cakes and pies. Try to eat five to six small meals a day instead of three large meals. Consume more protein in order to give the body more energy. Fruits and vegetables are great to eat, and you can have yogurt or cheese as a snack through the day. Popcorn is also an idea for a snack, and you can package it in small bags.
