I don't really think it's low sugar but it's similar to the eggs & toast recommendedation I was given. I think you'll be fine.

I would skip the peanut butter.

I had a very early GD test so I skipped breakfast and still failed my first one. I passed the three hour one-all normal ranges. The only thing I can think of that caused me to fail the first is the watermelon I had like the night before (15 hours before test)

Hmmmm I would think its a good effort but I thought very carby foods were also big sugar uppers and a bit risky.

As a diabetic, the cereal and milk is carb heavy enough to elevate your glucose. Try adding in a protien in the morning to balance it out. For the lunch, multi grain is good, whole grain would be better. Pb is a good choice if no extra sugar is added. As a pregnant diabetic, I am supposed to have 15-30 grams of carbs and 8-16 grams of protien foe breakfast. Lunch can be 30-45g carbs, 16-24 protien. 1 serving of carbs is 15g. A serving of protien is 8g.

Your breakfast is going to give you a lot of carbs from both the cereal and the milk, but no/little protien for after the quick high is over with.

Do you eat oatmeal? That's what I had about an hour before my one-hour glucose test. It's supposed to be a good food for not spiking your blood sugar.

@lady baltimore: But not instant oatmeal - steel-cut or something less processed...

@tinyperson: Right - just regular oatmeal from scratch. I added coconut oil and nuts, but skipped the dried fruit that day, just to be on the safe side.

For my 1 hour test I was told to eat normally just watch the sugar intake. The 3 hour test you have to fast. (Awful. So awful. I hope you pass the 1 hour!) That being said.... I would skip the cheerios!

breakfast is pretty sugar heavy, I would skip the cheerios and eat eggs.

Mind me asking why no fruit/veggies? how do you get those necessary vitamins?

My test was first thing in the morning and I had a handful of almonds and lots of water! I passed. Not sure what I would have done if I had to wait until the afternoon. Good luck.

@DesertDreams88: I took mine yesterday at 25 weeks. I think the range is 25-28 weeks. My midwife told me NO carbs at all before the test. I had eggs & some mixed nuts before mine. What you've listed seems high in sugar/carbs for what my midwife told me (she specifically said no cereal for breakfast!)
