Enaku gestational diabetes nu solitanga last week. Im trying to manage with food but konjam confused what to eat and avoid. if anyone can share tips in tamil it would really help, especially diet ideas.
At home we switched white rice to a bit of kambu and ragi, and amma made more keerai. But I always confirmed the diet with my doctor since sugar is serious. Walking after meals helped me a lot too.
I had gestational diabetes and what helped me was small frequent meals and cutting rice quantity, not skipping food. My doctor and a dietician gave me a proper Tamil meal plan with millets and veggies. Please get a tailored plan, dont just copy random tips.
I am working so I kept it simple, idli with less and more sambar veggies, avoided sweets and juices. A short walk after lunch made a real difference in my readings. But pls follow your doctor's chart, that is the main thing.
