Please be very careful with glucose powder because it can shoot up your blood sugar levels. I had gestational diabetes and had to strictly avoid such sweet drinks. Better to ask your doctor for a safe alternative like nimbu paani without sugar.
Honestly, normal water or fresh coconut water is much better and cheaper than buying glucose packets. If you are feeling weak, just have simple nimbu paani with a pinch of salt and little sugar. It works wonders and is totally safe.
According to my pregnancy tracker app, high sugar drinks aren't recommended daily. It's okay occasionally if you're feeling very dizzy, but do log your symptoms. I used to track my water intake there to stay hydrated instead.
My mother-in-law advised me to drink buttermilk or sattu sherbet instead of packaged glucose. She said natural drinks are much safer for the baby. Honestly, those traditional recipes actually kept me energetic all day.
I also thought of drinking it during summer but got so scared of getting diabetes or gaining too much weight. Is it really safe? Please do ask your doctor first because even minor things make me worry so much.
Why do you want to drink artificial glucose anyway? Unless your doctor specifically prescribed it for weakness, stick to plain water, lassi, or coconut water. Keep it simple and don't dump extra sugar in your body.
As a working mom, I needed quick energy boosts, but my doctor advised against daily glucose water because of the sugar rush. I started carrying whole fruits and a bottle of lemon water to office instead. It's much safer and easy to manage.
