Question
With gestational diabetes at 29 weeks without medication, what is the ruling regarding Passover night, what is the minimum requirement for matzah and grape juice? It will likely spike my sugar levels, but I also won't be able to check it...
Answer
Hello
Wine - if you can drink most of a small measure - 44 ml, you should do so. If even this is not possible, drink chamra medina, meaning tea or sugar-free cola.
Matzah - if possible, eat 30 grams throughout the Passover night, a quarter of a hand-made matzah at the beginning of the meal, and a quarter of a hand-made matzah at the end of the meal for the afikoman. If even this is problematic, eat only a quarter of a matzah at the end of the meal for the afikoman. If even this is not possible, eat only 10 grams. If even this is too much, eat the size of an olive of our times.
