Sure , that ' s how the train of thought was explained to me when I learned this in school . I ' m just saying it wasn ' t always a total winnertakeall scenario . <| sep |> All I ' ll say is I could never be a doctor because my handwriting isn ' t good enough . <| sep |> but just a heads up they ' ve moved the statue . It ' s in a special museum , not in the graveyard any more . That said , the graveyard where it used to be is still an epic graveyard . <| sep |> Agreed about heading over to rGestationalDiabetes . I cried so much when I got the diagnosis . I was worried I had been hurting her . I have never been so motivated to follow a diet before . Though I still have some issues nothing like when I had GD , it has been a blessing in disguise . I think I was predisposed to getting diabetes , and it was a wake up call to learn how to prevent it long term . Basically , sugar is not your friend starchy vegetables , fruits , but if you mix it with fat , fiber , protein you are good to go . It keeps your blood sugar from spiking . Want an apple ? Dip it in peanut butter . Want icecream ? Make sure it is the super fatty , creamy kind and put some nuts on it . Knock yourself out on turkey and green bean casserole . I also recommend the book Real Food for Gestational Diabetes . Some nutritionist are really outdated with their recommendations and recommend too many carbs !
