Managing Gestational Diabetes

Balanced meals and snacks to keep blood sugar steady while supporting energy and healing. These recipes are designed with low glycemic index foods, fibre, protein, and healthy fats to help avoid spikes and crashes. Always use these alongside your care provider’s recommendations and monitoring plan.

How to Use These Recipes Effectively

  • Pair carbs with protein or fat: Instead of eating bread or fruit alone, add nut butter, cheese, or eggs.

  • Eat smaller, frequent meals: Aim for 3 meals + 2-3 snacks spaced evenly through the day.

  • Prioritize fibre: Whole grains, beans, veggies, and seeds help slow digestion.

  • Stay hydrated: Water and unsweetened teas support blood sugar stability

  • Check your body’s response: Everyone responds differently—use your meter to see what works best for you.
