If you can get your son right from the start on a healthy balanced diet (look up the recommendations on the American Diatetic or American Diabetic Associations website of what a healthy diet looks like for a normal, healthy person), you can stop bad habits before they start. Also, encourage healthy excercise and activity from an early age. I have Type 1 Diabetes, and I am 8 months pregnant, and I am going to do this too. We don't have snack food or soda in the house, we eat alot of protein and vegetables at meals with a healthy portion of carbs, and we aren't going to give our baby fruit juice or sweetened baby food, so hopefully our child will learn how to eat a balanced diet and not develop a taste for sweets. Good Luck!

You have many good answers on here. You also might want to check out the American Diabetes Asso. website. There is much good information on there. There are other websites as well. Of course, you will also want to ask your child's pediatrician what you can do to limit the risks. Your concern and education will help give them a healthy future. Take care.

Your body will readjust in time. My best advice is to find some things that aren't carbs but fill you up like the carbohydrates do. My favorite is sauteed mushrooms in garlic. Carrots also work and are on the list of allowed foods. There are some lower carb pastas out there from a brand called Dream Fields that allow you to work them into your diet in reasonable quantities. For a treat, have a cup of berries and a little cool whip. One other suggestion is to start eating smaller, more frequent meals if you can. For instance, have a small amount of fruit with a little yogurt in the morning then later have some veggies like cucumber, celery and carrots. For lunch you could have a salad with ham and a boiled egg and a couple of crackers. For a midafternoon snack have some more veggies and a little bit of cheese. For dinner, you can have some stir fry with lots of veggies and about half a cup of cooked rice or pot roast with a small potato (no gravy). Check out the South Beach diet for some low carb recipes - you can't actually follow the diet because of the pregnancy. For fast meals - the South Beach diet has some good TV dinners and some of the Marie Callendars dinners (chicken breast with mashed potatoes and broccoli) are low carb and taste delicious. Quiche is a good dish to make and you can easily enjoy without eating most of the crust. Try it with asparagus or zucchini - really delicious. Watch out for things that say Low Fat because that often means more sugar. Be careful about your serving sizes - I measure cooked rice and pasta with measuring cups so I know exactly what I'm getting. Read the labels on everything you buy and if it doesn't have a label research the food to see how many carbohydrates are in each serving - and exactly what a serving is. It's tough to have to start a diabetic diet and it must be really stressful to be going through this while you're pregnant. I hope that at least a couple of my suggestions will help you feel better.

I have Type II diabetes and my nutritionist told me that juice, even if it claims to be "Diet" or "No sugar added" is still high in natural sugars. It is better to just eat fresh fruit. Also try to eat whole grain pastas, but still just in moderation. Brown rice has more fiber than white rice, but still high in starch. NEVER eat white bread. Whole grains are much better, but like the pasta, still eat only in moderation. Try to eat more lean protein, and low fat dairy. Milk also has a lof of natural sugar in it, so try to get your calcium in things like cheese, cottage cheese, etc. Did they tell you to stay away from juice of any kind?
