Thanks Chickaboo, I was starting to think no one had any suggestions. By sugar free do you mean the foods that have artificial sweetener in them? Thanks for the warning about carbs, didn't think about it.

The voucher idea is a good one but she is a beauty therapist so not sure if that would work. But will instruct Bro to give her a foot rub or two ]]> Tue, 10 Feb 2009 21:56:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24444&PID=611064&title=gest-diabetes-what-to-eat#611064 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24444&PID=611004&title=gest-diabetes-what-to-eat#611004 Author: Chickaboo

i had gd in my last pregnancy and lived on sugar free stuff. The sugar free jelly is lush and IMO nicer than normal jelly.
There is also sugar free buscuits - I found most supermarkets have them. Sprite zero is fine as well.
Don;t make the mistake by thinking all savory stuff is ok - its not it carbs break down to glucose (hence sugar)]]> Tue, 10 Feb 2009 21:00:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24444&PID=610998&title=gest-diabetes-what-to-eat#610998 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24444&PID=610809&title=gest-diabetes-what-to-eat#610809 Author: myfullhouse

SIL is about 28/29wks and her test came back suggesting that she has gestational diabetes, she is off for another test on Thursday. She is really upset about this as she thought she was being really careful, her Grandmother has type 2 and her Dad was diagnosed with type 2 about 3mths ago.

I want to go out tomorrow and put together a little hamper for her to try and boost her spirits but I wouldn't have a clue what to out in it. What can she eat? Everything that is ok to eat on a diet i.e. low in fat seems to be really high in sugar.

I have had a look at some of the other threads but can't see any mention of foods that are ok to eat. Suggestions please!]]> Tue, 10 Feb 2009 18:35:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24444&PID=610809&title=gest-diabetes-what-to-eat#610809
