How is the diet for type 1 diabetes different from the diet for someone without diabetes?
It depends, because if you are on 2 injections a day then it means you would have to cut down on carbohydrate and sugar and do extra injections with a "rapid" which is a fast acting substance, if you are on 4 injections a day, then you basically have the same diet but you have to "carbohydrate count" where you work out how many carbs you eat at each meal, and depending on what the ration your G.P has given you, you then work out how many units of insulin to inject. e.g my ratio at lunch is 1:10 and lets say i have a sandwich of 40 carbs, i will have 4 units of rapid insulin (other diabetics may have a different insulin).
Living With Gestational Diabetes?
If you are ever faced with gestational diabetes while you are pregnant, there is no need to be alarmed. This is simply a condition where the body does not produce enough insulin while pregnant, and the blood sugar levels are increased. There is no indication that you will or will not have diabetes after the baby is born, but some women who have gestational diabetes do develop the disease later in life. There is no specific cause for the condition, but some doctors think that the placenta could be a factor. It is important to be tested for the condition so that you can take care of your baby while you are pregnant. Babies who are born to mothers who have gestational diabetes are sometimes larger and have low blood sugar levels after birth. After you have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, you will be given a diet to follow. You also need to monitor your blood sugar levels on a regular basis. Many women check their level in the morning and in the evening. Your doctor needs to know what your levels are in order to determine if more treatment is needed. It is possible that if the blood sugar levels cannot be controlled with diet and exercise, you will need to receive insulin injections. There are several foods that you should and should not eat while you are pregnant with the condition. If you drink soda, you need to stop drinking it until after the baby is born. You can drink milk, water and some sodas that are sugar free. Avoid eating foods that have a lot of sugar in them. These foods include candy, potato chips, cakes and pies. Try to eat five to six small meals a day instead of three large meals. Consume more protein in order to give the body more energy. Fruits and vegetables are great to eat, and you can have yogurt or cheese as a snack through the day. Popcorn is also an idea for a snack, and you can package it in small bags.

Counting carbohydrates?
Alternate NamesCarb countingNutrients and CarbohydratesCarbohydrates (or carbs) are found in fruit, cereal, bread, pasta, and rice. They are quickly turned into a sugar called glucose in your body. This raises your blood sugar level.People with diabetes can control their blood sugar better if they can count how many carbs they eat.Types of CarbohydratesYour body turns carbs into energy. There are two major types: simple and complex.Simple carbs are sugars found naturally in food. They can also be added to food. They include:CandyFruitMilkSugar-sweetened productsTable sugarVegetablesComplex carbs have sugars that are chemically linked together. Your body breaks them down into sugar after you eat them. They are starches found in food. They include:BreadCerealLegumes such as beans and chick peasPastaRiceStarchy vegetables such as potatoesCounting Your CarbsSome foods, such as jelly beans, are all carbs. Others, such as meat and fish, have no carbs.Most foods, even vegetables, have some carbs. Most adults with diabetes should eat no more than 200 grams per day. But each person should have their own carb goal.Packaged foods have labels that tell you how many carbs a food has. They will be measured in grams. You can use food labels to count the carbs you should have.The food label will say what the serving size is. It will also tell you how many grams of carbs are in a serving.Sometimes the label will list sugar, starch, and fiber separately. The carb count for a food is the total of these. Multiply the number of servings you eat by the number of grams of carbs per serving. This will give you the carb count for what you eat.You have to measure how many carbs are in foods that are not packaged. Then you have to calculate the total carbs in what you eat.For example, cooked long grain rice has 15 grams of carbs per 1/3 cup. If you eat a cup of cooked long grain rice, you will eat 45 grams of carbohydrates.Foods that have 15 grams of carbs are:1/2 cup of canned fruit (without the juice or syrup)1/2 cup of oatmeal1/3 cup of pasta (can vary with the shape)1/3 cup of long grain rice1/4 cup of short grain rice1 cup of soup1 and 1/4 cup of milk1/4 servings of medium French friesAdding up Your CarbohydratesThe total amount of carbs you eat in a day is the sum of the carb counts of everything you eat.When you are learning how to count carbs, use a log book or sheet of paper to help you track them.
