Its so hot here and I feel weak by afternoon, was thinking of having glucose water to feel better. But not sure if extra sugar is okay in pregnancy. Do u all drink it?
Oh, a chilled orange-flavored Glucon-D was my savior during hot summer afternoons! It's totally safe to satisfy that sweet, cold craving, just don't gulp down bottles of it daily. Enjoy it in limit!
Listen, a little glucose drink is perfectly fine when you're feeling drained out, but don't make it a daily habit. Your body is handling a lot right now. If you feel dizzy often, tell your doctor instead of just depending on glucose.
Please check with your doctor before drinking glucose regularly, especially if you have a family history of diabetes. I had gestational diabetes complications and my doctor strictly put me off high-sugar drinks. Always be cautious.
If you mean the glucose drink they give for the GTT sugar test at the hospital, yes, it is mandatory. I had to buy it from the hospital pharmacy and it was very cheap. Just carry a lemon with you to squeeze in it so you don't feel nauseous.
I remember feeling so exhausted in my second trimester, and a cold glass of glucose water felt like absolute heaven. It's safe to have occasionally to beat the fatigue. Be gentle with yourself, you are doing great!
Yes, normal glucose drinks like Glucon-D are totally fine if you are feeling low on energy or dizzy, just don't stress too much! Just don't overdo it because of the high sugar. Drink up when you feel tired!
Since I have a history of PCOS, I had to be very careful with sugar spikes during pregnancy. I avoided regular glucose drinks and stuck to coconut water instead. If you must drink it, definitely keep an eye on your sugar levels.
Haan na, Glucon-D is fine to drink when you feel weak or have morning sickness. But don't drink too much sweet things every day ho na. Keep it limited.
It's safe, but moderation is key, especially if you have gestational diabetes risk. I used to have a glass of lime water with a bit of glucose when I felt dehydrated during my walks. Kept me active and healthy.
