Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes requires careful management to ensure both maternal and fetal health during pregnancy. Nutrition plans for pregnant women with gestational diabetes focus on stabilizing blood sugar levels while providing adequate nourishment for both the mother and the developing baby. These plans typically emphasize balanced meals with controlled carbohydrate intake, incorporating whole grains, lean proteins, and a variety of fruits and vegetables. Monitoring carbohydrate consumption and choosing foods with a low glycemic index can help prevent spikes in blood sugar and manage the condition effectively
