My cousin kept saying she got pregnancy sugar in her last trimester and now im also pregnant so thoda curious. Matlab is it different from normal sugar problem? Just trying to understand.
My doctor detected high sugar in my 6th month routine test. I didn't take any medicine, just completely stopped sweets and switched to brown rice and ragi rotis. My sugar levels came back to normal within two weeks, so personal experience says diet control is key.
I had gestational diabetes in my 8th month and I used to cry thinking it would harm my baby. But trust me, my sweet boy is 6 months old now and perfectly healthy. It goes away immediately after delivery, so please don't stress yourself.
Oh actually even I got diagnosed with this last week in my 24th week test. It is basically high blood sugar that starts during pregnancy. Are u also taking insulin or is your doc managing it with diet only?
Pregnancy sugar is called Gestational Diabetes and it's quite common due to placental hormones blocking insulin. Your doctor will make u do an OGTT test to check how your body handles glucose. It's easily manageable with proper diet monitoring and light physical activity, so don't worry.
It is basically gestational diabetes, which happens to many women during pregnancy due to hormonal changes. You don't need to buy expensive sugar-free products honestly. Just cut down on direct sugar, control your rice portions, and do a 15-minute walk after every meal.
