My recent test showed my sugar is on the higher side and doc has asked me to watch it closely. Im 25 weeks and honestly a bit stressed about food now. For those who went through this, what helped you keep it in control?
If your doctor allows, a gentle walk after meals really helps the sugar. I also did slow prenatal yoga. Nothing intense, just movement, and it kept my levels steady.
I had GD in my 7th month. What helped me was small frequent meals, cutting white rice and sugar, and a short walk after eating. But honestly the diet plan from my doctor was the real thing, please get one made for you.
My gynac asked me to monitor with a glucometer, fasting and after meals. She said avoid sweets and fruit juice, eat more protein and fibre. Walking 15-20 min after lunch and dinner brought my numbers down nicely.
Cut down on sugar, maida and too much rice. Add dal, veggies, eggs. I split my meals into smaller portions so sugar doesnt spike. Worked well, but follow whatever your doctor sets for you.
With work it was hard but I kept healthy snacks ready, nuts and roasted chana instead of biscuits. A quick walk after office lunch helped. Realistic small changes are easier to stick to than big diets.
Take care with the rice ma, I switched to less and more sambar and veggies. My amma kept reminding me to walk after food. But please follow your doctor's chart, sugar is not something to guess with.
