My sugar levels came slightly high in the glucose test and doc gave a warning. Im 28 weeks and honestly thoda scared. What did u eat or change to bring it down naturally?
Managing sugar levels requires strict tracking, just like I had to do for my thyroid. Please make sure you get your HbA1c and oral glucose tests done regularly. Keep visiting your doctor so they can check if you need any mild medication.
Stop overcomplicating it and cut out the junk immediately. Eat small, frequent meals rich in protein and fiber, and walk for 15 minutes after every meal. This is the only real way to keep gestational diabetes in check.
I am trying to cut down on sugar too before we conceive, and honestly, it's so hard! I've started replacing my dessert cravings with sweet curd or fruits. What is working best for you guys to control the cravings?
Cut down on bakery sweets, direct sugar in chai, and white rice. Swap white rice with brown rice or daliya, and have apple or guava when you crave sweets. It's cheap, healthy, and works beautifully ghar pe.
My mother advised me to completely stop eating white rice and have ragi mudde or broken wheat upma instead. But always follow what your doctor says about your diet, because managing gestational sugar needs proper medical monitoring.
High sugar during pregnancy can lead to complications, so please do not try self-treatment. You must consult your gynac immediately so they can refer you to a certified nutritionist for a safe pregnancy diet chart.
I had to watch my sugar closely too, and what worked for me was replacing sweets with handfuls of almonds and walnuts. Keeping your sugar low now is also great for when you start breastfeeding later. Take it one day at a time, dear.
