got my GD report last week and my sugar is on higher side, doc said control with food. amma speaks only tamil so anyone who can explain in tamil what to eat and avoid would really help us. tension aagudhu.
When my sugar report came high, the hospital's dietician gave me a very clear diet chart. Please don't try self-treatment; just ask your doctor to refer you to a nutritionist who can plan your meals safely.
I know how hard it is to manage diet when you already feel like throwing up. For gestational diabetes, try having small portions of ragi or kambu instead of white rice, it helps a lot. Just eat slowly and don't skip meals.
Actually yaar, controlling sugar is all about diet control. Cut down on heavy white rice and sweet stuff, and try walking for 15 mins after every meal. It makes a huge difference, trust me.
Controlling sugar during busy work hours is tough. I used to pack small snacks like roasted chana, cucumbers, and almonds so my glucose levels didn't spike. Avoid white rice and maida completely, switch to millets if possible.
During my pregnancy, my sugar was slightly high, so my doctor asked me to eat more fiber. I replaced regular rice with thinai (foxtail millet) or ragi, and it worked wonders. Keep monitoring your blood sugar levels regularly at home.
