I just thought I'd share some things that are working for me keeping my BGs down during pregnancy. The biggest change for me and it's really making a huge difference is merely not eating more than 45 carbs per meal. Before pregnancy I was eating 100 carbs sometimes at a meal. Now, I only eat 45 at most. For breakfast I eat 30. This really makes a huge difference. Also, keeping my fasting BGs lower helps too. If I start my day at 80, naturally, it's easier to keep my post-breakfast BG below 130, than if I started my day at 100 for example. Also, I changed my target BG in my pump to 90 instead of 100, for corrections. Also, here are some food tips I have found to work:

Finn Crisps--these are 5 carbs per board/cracker. They are low glycemic/high fiber and work amazingly for me. My BG does not spike at all.

Cottage Cheese--I never ate cottage cheese really before pregnancy, but now I eat it about every other day with a nectarine cut up in chunks, for breakfast.

South Beach Diet Protein Bars--I eat 1 of these and a glass of milk for breakfast. It keeps me relatively full and the meal is only 30 carbs. Then if I need a snack an hour or 2 later, I eat another 15 carbs then.

Sugar Free Jello--when I feel like eating a snack but don't want more carbs--these are great!

I know everyone's body is different, but these help me alot. I hope it helps you too.
