Pregnancy is a superb experience for all women . It is that dream phase of life where most women give no heed to the calorie count of the food they eat . And we all love to pamper ourselves by eating all that you really desire to eat ! Well, tempting as it may sound, but for some women the same phase turns in to a more serious one if they get diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Don’t worry ! This Indian diet plan for gestational diabetes will help you enjoy your eating during pregnancy while taking care of the nourishment and growth of your fetus .

Pregnancy brings in a lot of emotions in a women . You are happy , emotional (due to hormones) , depressed (due to body changes), excited and full of anxiety and nervousness. You want to do every thing for the baby growing inside of you to come out healthy and fit.  Health issues like Gestational diabetes makes you worry more and stress more.  You get all the more confused about what to do and what to eat. Surprisingly, most people consider excess weight-gain as a desirable and healthy sign of a healthy pregnancy. This is the reason why we took an initiative to plan this Indian Diet Plan for Gestational Diabetes . We will discuss on how a healthy diet can protect an expecting mother from gestational diabetes while allowing her to spend blissful moments with her child growing within her every second.

Understanding Gestational Diabetes :

We all have a basic and wide idea of what is diabetes. But what you really need to understand is, When it comes to Diabetes , there are certain measuring terms which may help in understanding a foods capacity to increase the blood sugar. While there are some that helps in understanding the body’s response  or reaction to the raised blood sugar. I know i am getting too technical here, But it is important to have a basic knowledge about these indexes so that you really know what you are eating and how it is going to help you . This might just be your first tiny step towards being a smart mommy !

  • Glycemic Index – It is a Number that signifies the capacity of a particular food to increase the blood sugar levels. 100 being equivalent to pure glucose . Foods that have a glycemic index or below 55 are considered healthier for diabetics. These foods are digested slowly in the gut and hence they raise the blood sugar slowly and steadily.
  • Glycemic Load – Glycemic load depends on the amount of carb contained by a particular food. And the capacity of each gram of  this carb to raise the blood sugar level.
  • Insulin Index – Insulin index is kind of similar  to the above 2 indexes. The only difference is that Insulin index does not depend on the blood sugar levels. Insulin index o a particular food is based on the food’s capacity to raise the concentration of insulin in the blood after 2 hours of intake.

Recipe of Masala for your Milk and Tea –

indian diet plan for gestational diabetes

Make this masala and keep handy . It will help in reducing blood sugar and add taste to your milk / tea .

Grind all these spices together – 10 -15 cardamom buds green , 5 black cardamom, 4 sticks cinnamon , a little javitri , 10 -15 buds of cloves , 10 – 15 black pepper balls.

It is all about keeping your blood glucose levels stabilized :

  • Carbs are not only present in foods that contain processed sugars such as jam, honey, candies and soft drinks, But also in foods containing natural sugars such as yogurt, fruit and milk
  • During digestion, your body converts all carbs to glucose and hence, higher intake of carbs at one time leads to a rise in the blood glucose level.
  • Starchy foods such as cereals,Refined flour products like breads, pastries , cakes, cookies, rotis (hotel made)and naan and vegetables such as peas, legumes, potato, lentils, baked beans and corn have high carb content. You may want to choose your carb intake accordingly in order to prevent the intake of excess calories while still honoring your taste.

The Dos and the Don’ts of Gestational Diabetes : 

While you are following our Indian Diet Plan for Gestational Diabetes, This small list of simple Do’s and Don’ts will help you a long way. These tips will brighten up your day and ensure safety and well being of your baby and your own health.

  • Eat small meals

    Allow a time of 2.5-3 hours between a meal and a snack. Similarly, make sure that a snack and the next meal has a time gap of at least 1.5 hours.

  • Never ever skip meals or avoid carbs

    This won’t do you any good and would just make you feel hungrier and eat more at your next meal which would ultimately destabilize your blood glucose levels. If you consume less carbohydrate, you are putting your baby’s health at stake as a growing embryo needs a certain amount of glucose energy for its growth.

  • Include a lot of veggies in your diet

    Make sure your meals and snacks contain adequate amount of salads and cooked non-starchy vegetables that are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Indian Diet Plan for Gestational Diabetes 2

  • Consume a lot of protein foods

    Consume a lot of protein foods during meal and snack times. These foods do not turn into glucose after digestion and they can help you feel full. Protein is found in foods such as eggs, chicken, fish, meat, tofu, nuts, seafood, nut butter, cheese and seeds.

  • Re-consider your fat intake

    Excess weight gain may not mean healthy pregnancy. Go for lean meat, low-fat dairy products and avoid deep-fried foods and high-fat junk snacks. It is not that fats would directly contribute to an elevated blood sugar level, but they may make it difficult for the insulin to work properly.

 

  • Include  un- sweetened Greek yogurt in your diet

    Greek yogurt has richer protein content compared to regular yogurt and would help to keep you full while promoting the health of your digestive tract as well.

  • Opt for complex carbs

    Go for brown rice, quinoa, ragi (red finger millet) or cracked wheat instead of white rice. For many, this may mean tough practice and compromise, but once you train your taste buds, you would not want to switch back again to white rice.

  • Reduce your oil and butter intake

    However, sometimes if you do need to surrender to your mood, you may use extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle olive oil into soups and pastas and enjoy your snacking times.

  • Replace Unhealthy with healthy

    Regular pasta with 100% wholegrain pasta and white bread with natural multi-grain bread. Have fine cracked wheat instead of upma/ rava/ semolina.

  • Replace potatoes with sweet potatoes

    Sweet potatoes have high fiber content and low glycemic index which means that they release glucose into the blood slowly after digestion, thereby helping in keeping the blood sugar level stable.

  • Include Oats

    Start your day with healthy breakfast cereals such as oats. Make it interesting with berries and nuts. Oats do not only have high fiber content, but they also promote milk production in nursing mothers.

  • Drink at least 8 glasses of water every-day.

    Making frequent visits to the washroom is the last thing that an expecting mom would want to experience. But by doing so, you would allow your body to flush out toxins regularly.

  • Try variety of salads

    Relish your salads with a generous combination of quinoa, kidney beans, chickpeas and soya chunks. Make your taste buds happy with tofu curries at times.

Here are some interesting and simple recipes –

  • koshimbir with curd
  • Kachumber salad (without curd)
  • Simple salad
  • Simple salad with cheese dressing
  • Look for attractive variety of colors in your food

    Include multicolored veggies and leafy greens in your diet. Indian cuisine has a lot to offer to us in terms of flavors and variety. Try out your grandma’s recipes or discover something on your own with an incredible combination of cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, kale, mustard greens, dill weed, Brussel Sprouts, fenugreek, and spinach.

  • Eat fruits as mid meals

    Who said you need to avoid fruits completely? Enjoy a sumptuous fruit bowl with slices of guava, citrus fruits, melons, apples, berries and pears. However, avoid over ripe fruits as they have high sugar content.  Avoid bananas, grapes, jackfruit, mangoes, pineapple and grapes and chikoo as they have high sugar content. Of course, you may have them as a treat once in a while if you have been sticking to our Indian Diet Plan for Gestational Diabetes on a regular basis.

  • Snack on nuts such as peanuts, walnuts, roasted channa and almonds and give your body a healthy supply of omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Include proteins and carbs in every meal and veggies and fruits for at least two meals.
  • Avoid soda, coffee, and tea. If you do need to take some caffeine, consider sipping into a cup of Joe prepared with fat-free milk and without sugar.
  • Replace fruit juices with whole fruit or tender coconut water.

 

Some low sugar Snacking Ideas:

  • Carrot slices with any vegetable based yogurt dip
  • Lettuce salad with boiled chickpea, tomatoes, cucumber and lemon juice
  • Whole wheat crackers with yogurt dips and avocado slices
  • Greek yogurt with berries

  • Sprouted green gram with grated carrots and lemon juice
  • Brown bread toast with almond butter and apple slices
  • Raagi roti with mint chutney
  • Wholegrain dosa
  • Asparagus omlette

 

How to fight Cravings?

  • Never avoid the intake of carbs as they give you instant energy.
  • Drink a glass of water when craving hits. False hunger pangs are more likely to subside with a glass of water.
  • Reassess your meals to find out if you are eating less. Add some proteins to your diet or snack on celery, baby spinach or baby carrot salads.

Your baby needs an extra 300 – 500 calories to support his/her growth and and follow our Indian Diet Plan for Gestational Diabetes to manage your elevated sugar levels.

      hi Rozina,

      I am following a diet by following various diet charts. but sometimes the same thing makes my level little high and some other day low. what would be the reason?
      Payal – The reason is that these diet plans are not customized to your requirement .. diet plans on internet are just sample plans … they are not 100 % accurate for each individual .. they are planned for an average individual .. with common issues… Its best that if the sugar is fluctuating so much , you should get a customized diet plan.

      secondly my fasting blood level many a time comes 97, 117, 115 which should be below 95. what should i do for that? and 1-7 points high is it normal
      sometimes or it should be a high at all?

    I am in US and met a dietician for GD and I am literally starving with the amount of food that is allowed.
    Came across this and it will be a dream if I can eat all that is mentioned here.
    What would be the size of soup bowl? Apart from GD , only other thing I have is hypothyroidism and I am taking medications for that.

        Thank You so much for your response. I did download your 1 week plan as well and have been following that since this week. My after meal numbers are totally normal now and I dont feel hungry at all. Infact I struggle to keep up with all the food , I am so full with the food / quantity.
        Thank You very much. I am so glad I found this at the right time.

        However my fasting numbers are still elevated. I have tried bedtime snack and late night walking and the numbers remain constant. I am going to start ACV from tonight , but that will only make a 5-6% difference I believe . Is there anything else I could do?

        Thank You !!

    Hi,
    I recently diagnose with gestational diabetes and my diabetic dietitian asked me to have 30 to 45 gms of carb in lunch and dinner and measure the sugar level after and hr (should be under 120). I noticed whenever I exceed 11gms of carb in lunch/dinner, my sugar level spikes up to 140+.

    Can I continue with 11gms of carbs in lunch and dinner with veggies and protein?

      Hi ,

      continue to eat what you are having right now . see, diabetes in pregnancy is not always only food dependent. it might be high due to stress , or hormonal differences as well. so if he sugar is because of these , then its best that you find it out early and start medicines.
      If your sugar comes high, the doctor will start you on medicine, and with medicine if ou can manage yourblood sugar near normal , then it would not affect the baby . so dont worry.
