In this heat i feel very weak by afternoon and was thinking of adding glucose to my water. Im in second trimester. Is it safe na or should i ask doc first?
Glucose water can give you an instant energy boost when you feel dehydrated, but it's always best to consult your doctor before having it regularly. They will check your blood sugar levels to make sure you don't have any risk of gestational diabetes.
It's totally safe yaar, actually I used to have a glass of orange Glucon-D whenever I felt dehydrated in the Mumbai heat. Just make sure you aren't drinking it daily like water, as too much sugar isn't good. Ask your doc once if you're worried.
Yes, it is safe, especially if you feel very dizzy or exhausted in the heat. My toddler keeps me on my toes now, but back then, a glass of Glucon-D was my savior on hot afternoons. Just dont overdo it if your sugar levels are on the higher side.
When I was working during my pregnancy, I kept glucose packets in my bag for quick hydration during commute. It is safe for an instant boost, but a more practical and healthier option is coconut water or buttermilk, which keeps you full longer without the sudden sugar spike.
With two babies draining my energy, I felt like a deflated balloon most days! Glucose water really helped me survive those dizzy spells. Just dont drink so much of it that you start bouncing off the walls like my twins do now!
Honestly, I lived on glucose water and lemonade because everything else made me feel pukish. It's safe, but right now I wish someone would give me a glucose drip just to handle this sleep deprivation, haha! Go ahead and have it in moderation.
