what type of diabetes will i get if ive had gestational diabetes?
Posted by: admin / Category: Gestational Diabetesi had a baby 8 months ago and i had gestational diabetes. i know im at risk of getting diabetes now but what type of diabetes would i get type 1 or type 2?
am really worried about getting type 1.
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a form of glucose intolerance that is diagnosed during
pregnancy. After pregnancy, 5 to 10 percent of women who had GDM are found to have type 2
diabetes. Women who have had GDM have a 20 to 50 percent chance of developing diabetes in
the next 5 to 10 years following pregnancy.1, 2 The children of women with a history of GDM
are at an increased risk for obesity and diabetes compared to other children.
If you eat a low glycemic diet , also the whole family you may avoid type 2 diabetes.
This table includes the glycemic index and glycemic load of more than 2,480 individual food items. Not all of them, however, are available in the United States. They represent a true international effort of testing around the world.
The glycemic index (GI) is a numerical system of measuring how much of a rise in circulating blood sugar a carbohydrate triggers–the higher the number, the greater the blood sugar response. So a low GI food will cause a small rise, while a high GI food will trigger a dramatic spike. A list of carbohydrates with their glycemic values is shown below. A GI is 70 or more is high, a GI of 56 to 69 inclusive is medium, and a GI of 55 or less is low.
The glycemic load (GL) is a relatively new way to assess the impact of carbohydrate consumption that takes the glycemic index into account, but gives a fuller picture than does glycemic index alone. A GI value tells you only how rapidly a particular carbohydrate turns into sugar. It doesn’t tell you how much of that carbohydrate is in a serving of a particular food. You need to know both things to understand a food’s effect on blood sugar. That is where glycemic load comes in. The carbohydrate in watermelon, for example, has a high GI. But there isn’t a lot of it, so watermelon’s glycemic load is relatively low. A GL of 20 or more is high, a GL of 11 to 19 inclusive is medium, and a GL of 10 or less is low.
Foods that have a low GL almost always have a low GI. Foods with an intermediate or high GL range from very low to very high GI.
Both GI and GL are listed here. The GI is of foods based on the glucose index–where glucose is set to equal 100. The other is the glycemic load, which is the glycemic index divided by 100 multiplied by its available carbohydrate content (i.e. carbohydrates minus fiber) in grams. (The "Serve size (g)" column is the serving size in grams for calculating the glycemic load; for simplicity of presentation I have left out an intermediate column that shows the available carbohydrates in the stated serving sizes.) Take, watermelon as an example of calculating glycemic load. Its glycemic index is pretty high, about 72. According to the calculations by the people at the University of Sydney’s Human Nutrition Unit, in a serving of 120 grams it has 6 grams of available carbohydrate per serving, so its glycemic load is pretty low, 72/100*6=4.32, rounded to 4.

I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes and I need to know what to buy at the grocery store?
Posted by: admin / Category: Gestational DiabetesI am 33 weeks pregnant and was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I am going to a nutritionist next week but I need to go buy food in the mean time. I would really appreciate if you could help me make my shopping list of things I could buy to make for breakfast lunch and dinner. I have no clue what to buy. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks 
It’s not really about "what" you should be eating and should be more of "how much"
My whole family has diabetes so I can give you a little insight.
Portion control, the more you have on portions the better you will feel and the better your diabetes will be.
Always carry an emergency candy in your purse( like a snickers or mars bar or even hard candy like jolly ranchers)
for bread and pastas try wheat..it taste the same and is better for you.
Some no, no’s are of course junk food like nutty bars..twinkies etc. Also be careful on things that you think are good for you but they can actually spike your sugar such as Orange Juice.
Feelings woozy or lethargic? Check your number and if you are a little low have a bowl of cereal..it will be a quick fix.
Just remember, portion control and wheat. other than that it’s just like any other diet, eat fresh fruit and Veg and exercises and also don’t be afraid to have that one indulgence…it will be okay to have half a scoop of ice cream, they make lovely ice cream that is either sugar free or is made with splenda. Splenda will be your best friend
But with diabetes it’s all about reading how your body feels, you need to connect what your body is feeling with what your mind is telling you! Congrats on your baby
