- If you have diabetes (pregnant or not), there is a ton of conflicting information out there about the right way to eat.
As it turns out, traditional recommendations (remember the Food Pyramid?) may be steering us wrong. The FDA has been recommending less fat and more grains since the 1980s. So why is it that even though we eat less fat than ever before, we are more obese than ever?
This is a key question that researchers are interested in, and some of the answers will surprise you. Watch today's episode for some encouraging, easy ideas for eating for a healthy pregnancy and healthy life!
Have a great week!
Tracy

What about you? What sources or techniques have you found helpful for meal planning and diabetic eating? Leave a comment and share your experience. I would love to hear from you!
I am vegetarian .. so i can't eat these kinda of things
My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article th-cam.com/users/postUgkxVYhghKWmrUgXARZ_ydZTvmmcrw5L0I5i At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is good stuff.
I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, I learned that oatmeal and fruit raised my glucose levels so I eliminated them from my diet. I have been able to sustain my glucose levels within the normal limits. Thank you for your video, God blessed you!
I appreciate you taking the time to adapt this for people who maybe don't have as much time to prep meals or can't afford super fancy foods! That is gold!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for such a great video, before my pregnancy I could eat oatmeal and fruits without any worries. During my pregnancy, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and unfortunately oatmeal and fruit raised my glucose levels. I decided to eliminate them out of my diet and I have been able to manage my gestational diabetes just fine (of course l also increased my exercise time too).❤️
Thank you for making such a helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
Your video was helpful thank you very much
Glad to hear that
Thank you for saying to steer away from grains and fruits! I feel like so many GD nutritionists are so out of date with their advice. I remember being told to eat around 60 grams of carbs a day with GD. All following their diet plans did was make my sugars go through the roof.
The only thing that helped my GD was to eat very low carb/high protein.
You are so welcome! That makes me so glad to hear. I'm working on a course all about healing GD. It's everything I've learned over the past 20 years as a OBGYN and high-risk MFM. Are you still struggling with GD?
@@DrTracyPapa so would you recommend a keto diet? My midwife made is very clear that I should avoid the keto diet. But I have gd and when I follow her plan, my blood sugar goes up and I tend to stay hungry.
My doctor told me to stick to low carb high protein. How many carbs should i eat in a day????
I love bread. I try to do the low carb 647 bread and low carb tortilla...whats ur take on those?
Please help me. Im struggling to find the balance. I was really doing well by eating clean and cutting out the things that made my blood sugar levels spike- ie. All breads, pastas, certain fruits, etc i felt great and finally well enough to enjoy my pregnancy. Then around 2 weeks ago, at my checkup, there were ketones in my urine and I was told that i need to include small portions of healthy carbs...which ive done. But now my numbers are high again and I feel sick, sore and fatigued most of the time. My neck has also gone black again now. What must i do? I dont want to use insuin
I heard in North America to stay away from bagged salads as they tend to have the most recalls regarding listeria or ecoli... is this true?
The best rule of thumb is to stick to organically grown foods from the dirty dozen list and you should be ok! When you cook your veggies properly that should also kill any harmful bacteria.
Loosing weight will be a key with this diet..?
I live near ftw i might schedule an appointment since i have partial placenta previa and high blood sugar levels. Are you accepting new patients?
Of course!
@@DrTracyPapa I call your office but they told me i have to have a referral from
My current obgyn, i have a question i didn’t pass my 1 hour glucose test my glucose levels was over 200 after that they put me on a diet my levels were 178 or lowest 96 during the day or sometimes my highest 124 and lowest 95, they had put me on insulin morning and afternoon but i haven’t get my first shot yet. So my question is can i control my sugar with a more strict diet? Or there’s any other option like pills because im freak out and panicking with insulin shots i think 2 a day is too much.
Why do you say no oatmeal? I was told it is actually beneficial for managing blood sugar. I just make it without added sugars.
Definitely do what works best for you. Track your blood sugar with every meal and always talk to your doctor about your needs. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I’m pregnant and I need normal sugar level can you help me please? Also pray for me please
Ok but how do you portion all of this to not pass the 75g carb count? All of this is for sure, not in a 75 range. It already says 6 on the one package.
It can be frustrating, right? Optimal carb counts are different for everyone. Start your meals with vegetables that have plenty of fiber, like broccoli, salad greens, cauliflower, peppers, squashes, and green beans. Add proteins like chicken, fish, meats, and eggs. Finish with fruit or starches like bread, rice, or potatoes. Blood glucoses will usually improve with this type of plan.
Thinking about going vegan just found out my glucose levels are high I’m 33 weeks pregnant
You can be successful with a vegan diabetic diet. Just make sure you're still getting plenty of protein. Some vegan sources of protein are tofu, whole grains, and beans.
Hi! Foods to avoid including whole fruits and rolled oats?? Wow.
How is fruits and oats unhealthy? I know it has carbs and sugar in it, but fruits and oats are also very high in fibre. High fibre foods is what diabetics need in their diet. Because fibre slows down the release of sugar from food, thus does not cause spike in insulin levels. It is usually low glycemic index foods. Even sweet dates fruit (surprisingly has low GI value) is good for diabetics when eating in moderation (not more than 3 a day), and research has proven dates fruit doesn't increase blood sugar levels in diabetes patients.
Diabetes patients still need carbohydrates and sugar in their diet for energy, and we don't need to eliminate it completely, we just need to choose complex carbohydrates. That's the difference.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment with your insights! Do what works best for you and always keep track of your food and blood sugar and talk to your doctor about what is best for you. Take care!
Agreed, I have oatmeal about half the time for breakfast and my sugars have been fine. I usually stir some banana and peanut butter in. My dietician said whole fruits are fine but try to eat them with a protein.
If the world had more people like you, it would be a better place. You make a difference, Dr Igudia thank you for curing my Type 2 Diabetes and introducing your medical products to the worlds.
Where can I find good recipes
I find good recipes in lots of places. I have a ton of cookbooks, but I find most ideas online these days. Pinterest has some good ones. I also search for keto or paleo versions of favorite casseroles. And I subscribe to Cook's Illustrated for great recipes and reviews of different foods and kitchen tools.
I thought my body would never be the same again, but you fixed it. My heartiest gratitude to you Dr Igudia for helping me cure my Type 2 Diabetes successfully
Bagged salad feels like a huge listeria risk to me. Every outbreak seems to be tied to it.
That's understandable. Try buying organic if you can! That would help reduce the contamination risk.
now negative from Type 2 diabetes after did a Test , it was like a miracle , i really can't thank you enough Dr Igudia , You cured me naturally after I came across your channel on TH-cam , with your herbs , May God bless you Handsomely.
Should keto be an option then ? My sugars haven’t been the greatest also my sweet tooth is still out of this world
I would not completely eliminate carbohydrates, but do make sure that the carbs you're eating are complex - broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, bell peppers, salad greens, zucchini, quinoa, whole grain bread, and berries.
Oatmeal is fine, with low fat milk and no sugar..
I thought oatmeal is healthy for diabetics
