My glucose test came back high and gynac said its gestational diabetes. Honestly im quite scared and dont want it to affect the baby. For those who went through this, what diet or routine helped you keep it in control?
My doctor stressed diet and regular monitoring first, with exercise like walking if cleared. She said most cases control well with food alone, and only some need medication that she'd prescribe. So get a proper diet chart and stick to your sugar checks.
I totally understand the worry that comes with this diagnosis, I cried when I first got mine. But honestly with the diet and monitoring it became very controllable. You've got this, lean on your doctor and you'll be fine.
I went through this, and what helped was small frequent meals, cutting sugar and refined carbs, choosing whole grains, and a short walk after meals. I checked my sugar at home as the doctor told me. Follow your gynac and dietician closely, it's very manageable once you have a plan.
A gentle walk after meals really helps keep sugar steady, my doctor recommended it. I kept it light and only what was approved. Pair the movement with the diet plan and it makes a real difference.
