Balancing work and managing sugar levels in pregnancy is tough. Focus on diet control first – cut down on refined carbs and sugary drinks. Even a 15-minute walk after meals can help. Don't try anything extreme, just stick to what your doctor suggests. Small, consistent efforts.

I had gestational diabetes recently. My doctor advised me to eat complex carbs, lots of protein, and healthy fats. Also, I replaced white rice with brown rice and avoided fruit juices, opting for whole fruits instead. My sugar levels improved a lot with just these diet changes.

Reducing sugar in pregnancy is crucial, not just with home remedies. With my thyroid, I know how interconnected hormones are. Make sure you are getting regular blood tests and constantly following up with your OB-GYN and an endocrinologist. They can guide on diet and if medication is needed.
