New diagnosis

Just make sure you have a lot more veg/protein than carbs. Lunch I have eggs with one slice of toast. Breakfast Greek yogurt with a bit of fruit! The first few weeks you’ll be figuring out what spikes you and doesn’t. So don’t be too hard on yourself x

A lot of it is trial and error too, I’m lucky I didn’t have to change too much for a long time (diagnosed at 17weeks) but the further along you get the more your tolerance drops so something that was fine for me at 20weeks, I now can’t have at 34weeks, Pack out meals with veg where you can and try not to eat later in the evening worked best for me xx

It’s trial and error - what works for one person won’t for another as everybody’s tolerance is different. E.g I can eat wholemeal pasta and sweet potatoe but not wholemeal rice and breads are very tricky. Use the first few weeks to try see what you can tolerate - try having a quarter of your plate with a wholemeal carb and the rest veg and protein and see what happens, then try a different carb etc. iv found i can eat more at dinner than breakfast so that can be a factor also.
