Struggling with GD

I try to make sure not to snack and make sure if I need a snack I call it meal replacements. I make them with purpose and usually high protein.

You can have a treat just make sure you go for walk after or something. I wanted chocolate so I found that minstrels didn’t make my levels high. So find a treat that works for you. I was on metformin and insulin though.
I had a lot of brown rice and chicken.

I think it all depends on what spikes you, carbs really spiked me, including brown rice so lyou do have to go through a phase of monitoring your numbers to see what works,

In terms of a sweet snack I found wholegrain biscuits didnt spike me! And actually they were super tasty. I also ate alot of Greek Yogurt and nuts and a lil fruit as a snack

Honestly managing GD with diet alone and no insulin is expensive and time consuming. I think eating for pleasure kinda goes out the window and you just eat what you need to to get through the day because it takes so much more organising to constantly eat balanced and healthy diet in the quantities needed for pregnancy.
