My GTT came slightly high and doc said keep an eye on sugar. Im in 26th week now and honestly tension ho rahi hai about diet. How did u all manage it daily?
My sugar levels came slightly high in my recent reports and I am so anxious! My doctor told me to cut down on sweets and white rice. Is anyone else also managing this in their 2nd trimester?
Managing sugar is critical for the baby's growth. Stop eating refined sugars, switch to whole grains like oats or daliya, and do light walking daily. Most importantly, consult a certified prenatal dietician to get a personalized meal plan.
Keeping sugar down when you have double the cravings is a real test of willpower! I had to strictly cut out white rice and potatoes, and walk for 15 minutes after every meal. Trust me, active monitoring and your gynac's diet chart is the only way to survive.
Don't buy expensive 'diabetic-friendly' packaged foods from the market. Just stick to simple home-cooked meals like ragi roti, dal, and green veggies which are cheap and healthy. Keep a check on your sugar levels regularly to avoid high hospital costs later due to complications.
Listen, high sugar during pregnancy is not something to ignore. Cut out sweet tea, maida, and direct sugar completely. Eat small portions every two hours and monitor your fasting and post-meal levels as advised by your doctor.
