hello!
I have gestational diabetes.My blood glucose should be maintained at the following levels:
& lt; 90 mg/dl on an empty stomach.
& lt; 90 mg/dl before meals.
& lt; 140 mg/dl 1h after meals.
The measurements of before and after eating are kept in range, regardless of what eate, but the measurement of fasting usually passes a little of 90 mg/dl.
As an additional information, I will say that between dinner and breakfast usually pass around 10 h.I am not using insulin, or other pharmacological treatment.
I would like you to give me some tips for life styles and dietary habits to lower fasting glycemia, since being August they do not find me gap for appointment with the endocrine and I feel very helpless.
Thank you very much!
The issue of changes in diet during pregnancy is important to have follow -up for both your endocrine and your gynecologist or obstetrician.It may be dangerous to do it lightly.
During pregnancy follow a daily diet low in carbohydrates, it can increase the risk that your baby can develop some lack.Carbohydrates help you obtain the necessary energy so that both your body and that of the baby develop correctly, since in this period the energy expenditure increases, and also provide fiber, contributing to the feeling of satiety and avoid the constipation thatIt is very frequent in pregnancy.Of course, always slow and treated carbohydrates in a way that develop resistant starch (let them rest in 24 hours once cooked and then heat up again), which improves the intestinal microbiota favoring the nutrient absorption processesessential.
When a person does not take enough carbohydrates, his body will obtain this glucose from protein and fat reserves and this, which can be excellent on other occasions, is not convenient during pregnancy.This means that proteins and fats will not be able to perform their own functions, which are to create tissues, since they have to replace the essential function of carbohydrates that is energy production.
As in everything, prudence and consult with your professionals for any diet change.
On the other hand I would like to reassure you, since I see that you are carrying it very well, and stay calm if at the end of pregnancy you need medication and even insulin, because it is for the good of the two.When I had my children, almost forty -three years ago, there were no such effective monitoring methods and in the insulins there was not much to choose from.Only rigorous diet and insulin to Mansalva.Luckily the first glucometers that were for medical use and thanks to my endocrine that one got me, you can do me controls in my house.
In spite of all this my two children were born perfect, that with caesarean section scheduled at seven and a half months of pregnancy, but healthy and strong.And thank God they continue.So trust that everything will be fine
