How to control fasting sugar level during pregnancy?
My fasting sugar levels are a bit high, and I'm worried about gestational diabetes. Can anyone share tips on how to control fasting sugar naturally during pregnancy?
I tracked my glucose daily on an app and realized that a 10-hour gap between dinner and testing is ideal. Try to log your food to see what spikes you, and definitely discuss the fasting readings with your doctor.
During my pregnancy, my fasting sugar was high too. I found that having a boiled egg or a small bowl of paneer late at night helped stabilize my morning blood sugar. It's safe and worked well for me.
Fasting sugar is the hardest to control because it's hormonal. Eat an early dinner, have a handful of almonds or a glass of unsweetened milk right before bed, and walk for 15 minutes after dinner. If it's still high, don't hesitate to take insulin if your doctor advises.
Try having a light dinner and keeping your mind calm before sleeping with some prayers. Stay positive, don't stress, and take care of your health because your mental peace also affects your sugar levels.
