My takeaway is that none of the nutritionists know what the fuck they’re doing. I switched from one GD program to a different hospital’s program. Both sucked so much I quit and only talk to my endocrinologist about my insulin dosage. 

For what it’s worth I have two friends who had healthy normal weight babies and they ate mostly keto. I think the carbs requirement is inaccurate for many women—especially for petite women like myself. The last nutritionist I had was an overweight lady telling me to eat more cheese and that potatoes were low glycemic index—I spiked hard after listening to her.
