Foods that are particularly beneficial are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vegetables and fresh fruits<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wholegrain foods such as brown rice, whole wheat bread and oats<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dairy products such as low-fat milk, cheese and yoghurt.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-fibre foods such as legumes, nuts and seeds support blood glucose regulation, and lean proteins such as skinless chicken, fish, eggs, legumes, nuts and seeds are essential for tissue growth and repair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to maintain a balanced diet.

These include packaged snacks such as chips, crackers and pre-packaged meals, as well as fast food. As an alternative, you can make your own snacks so that they are higher in fibre or protein, which can support blood glucose control. Examples could include homemade muffins made with wholemeal flour, oats and fruit or chia puddings made with milk (dairy or plant based), chia seeds and fruit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having gestational diabetes does not mean you have to miss social events. Here are some tips for navigating them without compromising your plan:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eat a healthy meal beforehand to avoid overindulging at the event.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prepare and take healthy snacks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drink water rather than sugary drinks or alcohol.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Lifestyle Factors and Gestational Diabetes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to following a healthy eating plan, there are other lifestyle changes you can make to help manage GDM. For example, moderate-intensity exercise can be beneficial for both mother and baby. The Australian Government Department of Health has developed evidence-based physical activity guidelines for pregnant women which highlight the importance of exercise in managing gestational diabetes. You can find them <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.gov.au\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/2021\/05\/evidence-based-physical-activity-guidelines-for-pregnant-women.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some strategies to help you incorporate exercise into your daily routine:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a type of exercise that you enjoy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start slowly and increase intensity and duration gradually.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join a fitness class or find a partner as exercising with others can provide motivation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set realistic goals and monitor your progress towards them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celebrate your successes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always remember why you\u2019re doing the exercise: to protect the health of your baby and yourself.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diabetesaustralia.com.au\/blog\/stress-as-a-driver-of-diabetes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managing stress effectively can also have a positive impact on blood glucose levels<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Doing exercise and eating healthy food will help with this, as can the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify your stress triggers so you can take remedial action.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do relaxing activities such as meditation, yoga and breathing exercises.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you get enough good-quality sleep.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintain social relationships.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find healthy ways to cope with stress such as talking about how you feel or pursuing your hobbies.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are experiencing increased stress, please speak to your doctor, midwife or mental health practitioner.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Monitoring and Adjusting Your Diet Plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular monitoring of your GDM diet plan by your health care team allows them to suggest appropriate adjustments. Your team can also provide ongoing support and motivation. After your baby is born, they can offer guidance on transitioning to a regular diet and discuss long-term strategies to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your team will also teach you to recognise the signs of hypo- (low blood glucose) and hyperglycaemia (high blood glucose). This is important as early detection and treatment can prevent complications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hypoglycaemia may produce shaking, sweating, headache, dizziness and confusion. Hyperglycaemia may result in pre-eclampsia, the need for Caesarean section and high birth weight. Your team will work with you to put together a plan that tells you when and how to take action, including when to seek medical attention.<\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Support and Resources<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being diagnosed with GDM can come as a surprise, and it may cause anxiety about what it means for your health or that of your baby. Learning how to manage the condition can feel daunting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only will your GDM health care team provide you with support, but they will also help you to access resources such as support networks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women with a history of gestational diabetes are up to eight times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.
