Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi Amy, When I was pregnant with my daughter I had gestational diabetes as well. Diet was what worked for me. I followed the diabetic diet using "exchanges". It kept it under control and I was not left with diabetes after her birth.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I'm under the impression that it's temporary, and common. Eat fish, not the breaded kind. Go to a specialty fish store and use Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Cooking Oil. Do not use soy or canola oil at all. Broil or bar-be-queue the fish. Cut way back on red meats, (do not eliminate red meats), walk normally for 15 minutes a day, 6 days a week in the outside air. Eat Ezekiel Bread instead of regular bread. The low-sodium variety. You will need to freeze the bread and warm it in the toaster, it has no preservatives and will go moldy much sooner than ordinary bread. Better to toss half a loaf in the trash each time than to eat the other breads. (Sometimes it will be moldy on the store shelf, just live with an occasional loss). Eliminate all margarine, forever, never buy it again. Meditate regularly, do Hatha Yoga or Tai-Chi-Chuan. Eat fresh vegetables, drink wheatgrass juice with caution. Talk with someone who does wheatgrass and knows about 'pregnancy and wheatgrass'. It's a superfood that cleans you out. Drink liquid vitamins instead of pill\capsule vitamins. Any health food store. Eat nothing that comes in a package, frozen or in a can, if possible. Eat only what mother nature has made without man's processing. Monitor your thoughts and just drop any form of negativity, just stop yourself in mid-thought and switch to thinking about something fun. Does not matter how you do that or how corny it may seem. If your caught up in worry, stop and see a good movie. Play music you like, or take a bath for no reason. If you have negative or bitchy friends or relatives, just drop them like a hot rock and find people you admire (highly positive) and spend as much time as possible with them. It may seem cruel or anti-family, but if the family is negative, YOU HAVE TO COME FIRST ! If your job stresses you out, strongly consider taking something that is less stressful. Doctors are not God. They want you to think so, but they are not God, and they can be WRONG! No matter who says what, ALWAYS assume that whatever's happening is going to turn out fantastic, even if you're sitting on the pavement with a broken leg. Assume that no matter what happens that the best possible outcome, is just around the bend in the road. Use common sense. Forgive everyone right now. Completely ignore anything negative, forget about it 5 seconds afterward. Start talking about the good things that happened to you, or anyone else, constantly. Keep doing that until all you ever see is the positive in life. If you stub your big toe, remember how good the other nine feel ! Turn off the TV News. Just shut it off. Use affirmations. Most people do not think they work, but they do. Your subconscious mind is especially responsive to your voice or thoughts. Create a secondary imaginative personality, an super positive second self, that would think nothing about standing in front of the mirror just to get a look at that masterpiece of perfection (you!). Something like the cartoon character "Johnny Bravo". Let this super positive second self convince you how wrong you are to worry about anything! Make "CAN-DO", your middle name. P.S., God and his Angels are very respectful of your privacy. They will not intrude unless you ask them to directly. No magic or rituals, if you want their help, be direct and ask as often as you want, no job too large or too small, they never get tired. On call 24/7. You ARE God's favorite child! Michael the Protector. Raphael the Healer. Gabriel and Auriel do everything else. Raphael CAN cure diabetes, do your best on your end and leave the rest in the Archangel's hands. It IS that simple. - amy wimmer herbal remedies Tuesday, March 07, 2006 2:33 PM Herbal Remedies - question re: gestational diabetes I have just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
