Plates of Food for Gestational Diabetes

Here are some examples of meals I have been experimenting with during my Gestational Diabetes journey. I have enjoyed all of them. So far the only two I can eat in the morning for breakfast is the salmon burger and the protein shake. The other choices kept raising my BSL too high after having elevated fasting levels. If you are not having problems with keeping your FSL below 90mg/dL then all of these meals will be great options for you to eat.
