Eating small portions every 2 hours really helped manage my spikes. I used to have sprouts, roasted chana, and paneer as healthy snacks between meals.

Actually yaar, it is all about portion control. I swapped my normal roti with ragi or multigrain roti and it worked wonders. No sweets at all, honestly!

Include more protein like eggs, paneer, and dals in every meal. Avoid fruit juices entirely and eat whole fruits instead, but in limited quantities.

In my experience, cutting down on maida, potatoes, and sweet fruits like mangoes helped me a lot. I relied heavily on oats, ragi, and curd.

I had gestational diabetes too and used to cry seeing bland food. But honestly, it's just a phase and my baby is a healthy toddler now, so don't stress and just stick to high fiber food.

Keep it simple and replace normal rice with brown rice or daliya. Eat lots of green veggies and salads before your main meals, it keeps sugar levels in control.
