Gestational Diabetes Menu
Using a carefully developed gestational diabetes menu can help pregnant mothers ensure that they and their children remain healthy through out the pregnancy. Gestational Diabetes is a short term version of the disease that afflicts pregnant mothers.
Doctors aren’t positive as to why 5-7% of women gets this disease unexpectedly, but the potential dangers of gestational diabetes cannot be ignored.
A gestational diabetes menu can help diabetic mothers because it consists of foods that will have very little effect on blood glucose levels, but that will provide the necessary nutrients for the mother and growing child.
Gestational Diabetes Menu Items Consist Of:
- lean meats like turkey and fish
- low fat dairy products like cheese and yogurt (sugar free)
- lots of fresh vegetables
- healthy fats like olive oil, nuts and grains
The key to these foods that make up the gestational diabetes menu plan is high protein, moderate amount of healthy fats, and generous amounts of vegetables.
