Gestational Diabetes: Calm, Clear Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy

A diagnosis of gestational diabetes can feel overwhelming, but managing it is entirely possible with the right nutritional strategy. The goal is to keep your blood sugar levels stable throughout the day.

Balance Your Plate

Combine lean protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates (like whole grains and legumes) at each meal to slow down sugar absorption.

Mindful Snacking

Smart snacks between meals can prevent blood sugar dips and spikes. Think apple slices with peanut butter or a small Greek yogurt.
