My Pregnancy Journey : Dealing with Gestational Diabetes

Having diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes is not an easy one. I need to watch my diet, "low carbohydrates, no sugar" . Oh sugar is my life, as i cannot have a meal without a dessert. Cake, smoothies, chocolates, anything sweet. Now i have to cut all the sugar intake in order to have a healthy baby.

During the first 2weeks after i was diagnosed with GD, i lost weight as i was so frustated on what to eat. Most of the foods available and the foods i like to eat has sugar content or rich in carbohydrates. But as the day goes by, and after reading lots of GD related articles, i am getting the hang of it. 


I am searching the grocery for no sugar, less carbohydrate snacks for me to dig up during the wee hours of the night as my little ones get hungry on those times. 

Here are some of the diabetic friendly snacks i found on the racks ( not as doctor prescribed but according to the sugar content they have) 








Some of the guilt free desserts i craved for. So hard to find but its all worth the trip.
