    Please don't cut the amount of food but change the combination , include protein more in your diet at every meal long with little less of carbs .

    goto a dietican and follow thier diet . Unless you are on insulin , it is not that bad , you can control it by diet changes and walking after meals .

    as you are pregnant , please consult dietician which you doctor suggests .

    my dietician went over my diet and told me what i was missing , fat and protein.

    for breakfast f you have bread, you need to be generous with butter and cheese or some other form of protein which will help regulate the sugar levels same thing with lunch , include protein with whatever you eat , I you are non vegiterian has some chicken piece or egg every meal . If you snack on biscuits or crackers , have cheese aligned with it . Be carful in choosing truths , sugary fruits are no no . Take a walk after every meal .

    Try talking to dietician they will give you an idea if balanced meals .

    Its hard to hide sugar in that way.. But if you are in margin, you can give it a little break and try the test after a good diet and exercise. But you need to watch your food intake and other things all the way in pregnancy to keep you safe from sugar and GD.

But today, Sonologist said AC is slightly more so control rice and sweets. I got very very worried. So started reading this thread. So many have gone through so much. Your experiences gives so much hope. Vasumathy madam you are the best !
