How To Control Sugar Level Caused By Gestational Diabetes?
i have gestational diabetes and my range is usually between 4-6 mmol/L but when i tested it 2 hours after my supper ( im supposed to do it 2 hours after breakfast lunch and dinner and as soon as i wake up for fasting ) the meter read 8.7 the highest reading i have received so far! im scared since this is the first time i had gestational diabetes and im on disability and have no money till the end of the month. how can i bring my sugar level down to the 6.6 mmol/L or lower like it should be at?

Dear madam relax
I can understand your concern.
don't worry your sugar level is only slightly elevated
it's a normal phenomenon in pregnancy to have some insulin resistance
there is Notting to get panic in this condition
kindly do walking for 45 mins daily and reduce refined sugars in your diet.
this will help you to bring down sugars to desired levels.
check your sugars after one week and inform me.
you are going to alright
