What are some breakfast ideas when you have gestational diabetes?

Question by starlight_940: What are some breakfast ideas when you have gestational diabetes?
I’m 33 weeks pregnant and was recently diagnosed with a touch of gestational diabetes. I am no longer allowed to have more than 15g of carbs for breakfast before 10:00 am. So I have been reduced to some fruit and a glass of milk or yogurt for breakfast. Prior, I was a milk and cereal, muffins, oatmeal, eggs, bacon, and toast eater for breakfast. Now I am starving again after I’ve been at work for an hour with this reduced carb breakfast. It’s hard to have the energy I need to keep up at work when I haven’t had a filling breakfast. I start at 8:00 and I don’t get my lunchbreak until 1:00 usually. I can bring a snack to tie me over until lunch, but I still can’t even eat that until after 10. So do you have any good ideas of foods that will fill me up better but still be within the 15g of carbs guideline?

Best answer:

Answer by Elaura
Eggs and bacon don’t have any carbs so you can still do those. I ate a lot of string cheese which also has very low carbs and is very portable. Also, if you like sausage, you can get frozen, cooked sausage and microwave it.

What is a good borderline diabetic diet to follow? Need specific food items to chose from=thanks!?

Question by blue: What is a good borderline diabetic diet to follow? Need specific food items to chose from=thanks!?

Best answer:

Answer by syl c.
When trying to maintain a whole foods diet, eating out and convenience foods are usually ruled out. That means it is time for you to get in front of a stove. Some good choices for breakfast are quick cooking oats(not the kind in the envelope, the kind in the canister), high fiber cereal with skim or soy milk or an egg white omelet. Some lunch ideas are a turkey bacon BLT with light mayo on whole grain bread, tuna salad with whole grain crackers, or minestrone soup and a garden salad with grilled chicken. For dinner you can try recipes like broiled fish over brown rice with steamed veggies, bell peppers stuffed with chopped veggies, chopped chicken and low-fat cheese or veggie pizza on a thin, whole-wheat crust. Now at first glance these recipe choices might seem pretty bland, but this is your chance to get creative with flavors. Herbs and spices are a great way to add taste with little or no calories. Add some cinnamon to your oatmeal. Throw some spinach and mushrooms in your omelet or spice up fish and meats with lemon juice and garlic.

Q&A: What activity could I do to entertain and inform my listeners about diabetes?

Question by Momiji: What activity could I do to entertain and inform my listeners about diabetes?
I am doing a presentation on diabetes and I need to keep my audience entertained and informed.
What activity could I do to make a presentation about diabetes fun. I already have all the information that I need but it just seems boring especially for a bunch of 17-19 year olds. Can anyone help me? My presentation revolves around teen and adult diabetes if that helps.

Best answer:

Answer by Lindsey
Well..
I have type one diabetes and anyone who knows anyone about the disease (as I’m sure you do) knows it’s not something ‘fun’.
But of course, you don’t want to bore your audience to death.
