My GTT came slightly on the higher side and doc said to control it through food first. Im 26 weeks and honestly thoda tension ho raha hai. Anyone who managed their sugar with diet, what did u eat?
I had to have a C-section because of high sugar levels at the end, and healing was a bit slow. Please take your sugar levels seriously, eat fiber-rich food, and walk gently after meals.
Cut out processed juices and sweets completely, and switch to whole grains. Small meals every 2-3 hours and a 20-minute daily walk can do wonders for gestational sugar levels.
Managing gestational diabetes is all about diet control and mild walking. Try cutting down on simple carbs like white rice and maida, but definitely work with a nutritionist or your gynac for a proper plan.
I managed my sugar by eating small portions throughout the day instead of three large meals. Now while breastfeeding, I realize how important that nutrition was for both of us.
Oh god, I used to check my sugar three times a day and get so stressed if it went up even a little! Please don't panic, stress also raises sugar. Just eat wheat chapati instead of rice and drink water.
When I was diagnosed with high sugar, I felt so guilty and scared for my baby. But eating boiled veggies and walking really helped control it, and my baby was born perfectly healthy.
My doctor explained that complex carbs like oats and ragi are great because they don't spike blood sugar. She also said walking for 15 minutes right after meals helps muscles absorb glucose. Never skip your sugar monitoring visits.
