For Fellow Diabetic Mothers

By Chaayen
So Gestational Diabetes struck again during my 2nd pregnancy, now that I am more prepared I was less whiny and upset by the whole ordeal. I did a post previously on the list of the food (read here about it! It is everything you need to know about gestational diabetes!) and their results. I had this impression that I could rely on it and pass all my prick test with flying colours. 
But it didn't work that way. Apparently with age, the body's tolerance became worse. I felt I ate a lot less or had to be a lot more conscious about what I am eating to not fare badly. For my last pregnancy, I basically work from home and most of the time it was during lock down, so I basically ate the same food everyday. This time round I did a bit of experimenting (some didn't go too well) and found some food that was both fulfilling and diabetic-friendly.
