Have high risk of diabetes, need advice

I recently found out that I’m pregnant. But my husband and I both have family history of diabetes. In particular, my sister had gestational diabetes 3 years ago. I’m being super cautious with what I eat, trying to avoid all kinds of sugar as much as I can. Unfortunately, I can’t go see the doctor and do some blood tests because I don’t have a health insurance right now, but last year I did have a blood sugar test and it indicated pre-diabetes. I found a new job recently and will get health insurance soon, so I’m planning to see a doctor as soon as it happens. Any tips for me what to ask a doctor? Or what I should  and shouldn’t eat? If anyone has any recipes to share, would be really helpful too! Thanks!

Dave Most of the time your insurance will also cover to be seen for Clinical Dietitian for Diabetes Educator, If you need help how to manage your BGL, you can contact my office and we can set up an appointment and go from there.
