I had GD. Chances are when you flunk the short test, you will flunk the long test too. Your diet is healthy for a person without diabetes, but the bread, pasta, and cereal are all starches and are allowed only in very small amounts if you have diabetes. Sweet desserts are out of the questions, but you can have limited fruits and yogurt and some sugar-free low-starch treats. My GD was treated by dietary changes, and went away when I delivered my child. It has been 14 years, and I've not developed diabetes, although I was told it could possibly develop as the years passed, especially since it runs in my family. I get tested for it every few years. Anyway, if you do have GD, you will be given whats called an "exchange list" which will guide in making food choices. You may have 'x' exchanges (or servings) of a certain category of food, for example, and if you eat more than allowable, you have to 'exchange' it for something else (give up a serving of food in another category). The main things to avoid of course are sugars and starches, including pasta as well as starchy vegetables like potatoes. You CAN eat those, but only in VERY SMALL quantities, and you can't mix all kinds of starches together like we tend to do. For example, if you eat potatoes at a meal, then you can't eat bread or pasta in the same meal. You also have to watch fat intake, and try to eat only monounsaturated fats like canola or olive oil. For example, a hamburger with everything on it (no cheese) fulfilled the confines of a complete meal on the exchange list. I could not add fries to it because the buns were my starches. If I would eat a hamburger patty without the bun, then I could have a SMALL order of fries, not the value sized order. Green salads were okay in pretty much unlimited quantity, but the amount and type of dressing mattered. You have to go for the dressings that aren't sweet, and the ones without too much of the wrong kind of fats or oils in them. All of your beverages have to be diet drinks or water or low-fat milk - you get the picture. The GOOD news is that the sleepiness, extreme thirst, and mental fogginess will go away after your first couple days of eating the right foods. And its really not that difficult, especially since you know its only until you have your baby that you have to eat this way. Hope this helps.
