Hi i am 28 weeks pregnant and i am suffering from gestational diabetes and from last week i have been monitoring my blood sugar levels by following a special Diet and regular exercise. And after all this my sugar level has come under control but sometimes it comes in between 5m/mol and sometimes its just under a required level that means 6.7m/mol (after meal). So i was just wondering as long it comes under 7m/mol is good or as lower is better?
Lower is better, but this is not something you should stress too much about as long as it’s under 7. Stress can actually raise blood glucose. Keep up the healthy diet, exercise daily, and don’t fret.
You should be aware that many women who have had gestational diabetes will develop type two diabetes later in life. You should also be aware that you can prevent it. The most important thing you can do right now is learn all you can about a healthy, high nutrient, low carb Calorie diet. Basically what that means is more raw natural fruits and vegetables and fewer man made products which are often stripped of important nutrients. The nutrients that keep your cells and organs healthy. When cells become unhealthy, they become insulin resistant. That’s when your pancreas produces too much insulin as the blood sugar levels go up. That can cause several things to happen and that is why such a high percentage of the population is unhealthy. For more, look up metabolic syndrome to see exactly what is going on in your body.
