Diagnosed with gestational diabetes last week and im trying hard to bring it down without going on more meds. What small changes in food and routine helped you the most? feeling overwhelmed with everything yaar.
I managed mine with diet and a daily walk after meals. Cut out sweets, sugary drinks and big rice portions, ate more protein, veggies and whole grains. But please follow your dietician's plan and keep monitoring, my doctor checked my numbers regularly.
My gynac said portion control, avoiding refined sugar, and walking after meals are the main steps. She had me track my sugar at home. If diet alone doesnt bring it down they add medication, so stay in touch with your doctor on this.
I kept healthy protein snacks at work so I wasnt tempted by sugary stuff. A short walk after lunch genuinely helped my readings. Keep it simple and consistent, that's what works with a busy schedule na.
