Gestational diabetes

Meats, eggs, vegetables, fruit ince or twice a day. Low carb. High fiber foods like beans

again, I know I sound so fucking stupid right now, but would rice work instead of beans?

No it wouldn't. Rice is likely to spike your sugars massively. The diabetes UK website has some great ideas.
If you do want rice it should be brown rice but it still might push your sugars up.
Cheese is a good shout and can slow down the metabolism of cards if you eat it just before a meal. X

@Jo thank you I will take a look at the website.

You can actually eat rice but basmati and types low on the glycemic index. I have GD and I’m able to eat rice without my sugar levels spiking.. depends on what you pair it with

@Sara what other types of food do you eat? I feel so lost right now. I was laid off from my job, can't find work, now this. I'm just struggling hard and I just can't think

Hopefully this helps you start from somewhere and sorry about your job

High protien, very very low carbs, high veggies, very very low sugar.

Watch your portions

The diabetes UK website has some great tips with recipes! X
