Gestational Diabetes During Pregnancy: A Diet Guide for Pakistani Women

Gestational diabetes usually appears during pregnancy and can often be managed with food, monitoring, and medical support. South Asian women have higher risk, so screening is important.

Smaller balanced meals work better than a few large meals. Use controlled roti or rice with protein, vegetables, daal, dahi, eggs, fish, chicken, or paneer.

Snacks like nuts, boiled egg, plain dahi, channa, or fruit with nuts are better than biscuits, samosas, pakoras, and sweet tea. Follow your obstetrician for glucose targets.
