I've been following a reasonable low-carb diet during my pregnancy. This is my fourth pregnancy and the last three were all very healthy and complication free.

Now my Glucose Tolerance test has come back "abnormal" and they want me to do the 3 hour Glucose Tolerance test. (YUCK!)

Now my question: How can I possibly be developing Gestational Diabetes on a low-carb diet? This makes absolutely no sense to me as my sugar intake is extremely low, outside of naturally occuring sugars in fruits, etc.

In my past pregnancies I ate whatever I wanted (i.e., a Twinkie a day, high sugar cereals...) and I was fine, but I gained a ton of weight. This pregnancy I'm being extremely careful, the weight gain isn't as drastic and now they're talking Gestational Diabetes.

Any input? I'm really confused about what to eat.
