How to control diabetes during pregnancy naturally?

Question

I've been diagnosed with gestational diabetes and prefer natural approaches if possible. What are some natural ways I can try to control my sugar levels during pregnancy?

Yes, controlling carbohydrate intake and going for short walks after meals helps a lot.

Just like I had to strictly monitor my thyroid levels every month, you must keep checking your sugar levels regularly. Please consult your gynac for a proper diet chart because self-treating can be risky.

It is so hard to control sweet cravings when you have diabetes! I switched to apple slices with peanut butter or a little curd to satisfy my sweet tooth without spiking my sugar, but do check with your doctor first.

Look, gestational diabetes is serious, so don't try to treat it entirely at home. Eat smaller portions of carbs, cut out sweets, but strictly follow your doctor's advice on this.

Beti, ghar pe thoda methi paani subah pi sakti ho aur meetha kam khao. Par sugar badhna theek nahi hai, isliye doctor ke paas jaakar unki salah zaroor lena.

Geetanjali Chetty · Answer

Haan, sweet cravings control karna mushkil hota hai, par sugar control karna jaroori hai, na. Ghar pe thodi walking karo meals ke baad par doctor se consult karna bilkul mat bhoolna.
