[blparent] Advice from other blind mothers who have had gestational diabetes during pregnancy?

[tmcgee3917]

Hello,
I was diagnosed with just stational diabetes with my second baby and it was not difficult at all. The doctors office set me up with a talking meter. The strips that you collect the drop of blood on click into the meter so you know that it is in. The only difficult T I experienced some time was getting enough of a collection of lead onto the strip, this is something that gets easier with practice. Good luck, my best advice is don’t drink any juice. 
I’m sure that if you limit your carb intake and make sure you always couple it with a protein, you will have a very awesome pregnancy!

Warmly,
Tracy Boyd

I am looking for advice regarding accessible ways to test your blood sugar, and recipes or books that you found helpful to manage your diabetes while you were pregnant. Obviously, this a lot, and it is a little overwhelming. Any help would be appreciated.
