Hi All,
My doctor said i have a gestational diabetes.I am 13 weeks pregnant,second time mom.I am very tensed about the GD,Because i am having very little meals,and having high blood sugar readings.Next week I have a doctors appointment.
I am worried about what she is going to tell.
Please give any suggestions,tips,indian veg recipes to lower the blood sugar levels.
All mommies take good care of urself.

Hi Aarati,
I' m from Jan2009 board and I' m a second time mom.
I gues your doctor would advise you to follow a diet based on a diet plan. From Indian food stand point avoid the following
1) Frozen food
2) Rice, sugar, jaggery and any food that is high in sugar. Have whole wheat chapatis.
3) Include Ragi in your diet. I can get you recipe for few dishes made od ragi flour.
4) MOnitor your blood sugar level daily and you will get to know what food increases sugar level.
Good thing about GB is you dont have to worry about it after you deliver the baby.
Hope this helps.
