Do you have Gestational Diabetes and are craving something sweet? Here are some dessert ideas for better blood sugar control.
Frozen KIND Bars: These contain fat, fiber, and protein
Yasso Bars: These frozen greek yogurt bars contain fat and protein.
While carbs have the biggest impact on your blood sugar, protein, fat, and fiber can help with blood sugar control.
Nutritional treatment of gestational diabetes is very individualized so it’s important to work with a registered dietitian to manage your nutrition plan.

* Iron: found in foods like beef, low-mercury fish, leafy greens, and lentils contain iron. Iron is especially important during the third trimester, which is when the greatest amount of iron gets transferred to the fetus in preparation for birth.
* Calcium: found in foods such as greek yogurt, pasteurized cheese, salmon, sardines, kale, and broccoli all contain calcium. Similar to iron, calcium is also particularly important during the end of pregnancy. Maternal calcium absorption is the highest in the third trimester to meet the fetus’s increasing calcium demands and support the baby’s developing bones.
* Magnesium: This includes foods such as chia seeds, spinach, and peanuts. Adequate magnesium intake can help mitigate pregnancy-induced leg cramps, which may occur during the second and third trimesters. Magnesium can also help with sleep, which could help combat pregnancy insomnia.

Protein is particularly important during pregnancy. The body is growing an entire human plus an organ and it needs the support of protein to do it.
In the second and third trimesters, protein needs increase by an additional 25 grams per day. However, research is showing that prenatal protein needs may be even higher.
Instead of fixating on how many grams of protein to consume per day, instead try focusing on having a source of protein at every meal or snack, especially later in pregnancy.
Protein can be found in animal foods like beef, poultry, fish, eggs, greek yogurt, and cheese as well as plant foods like beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, edamame, tofu, and tempeh.
See above some examples of high-protein snacks.
