Hello, Thanks for the query.
Madam in gestational diabetes most critical is to maintain your blood glucose levels between 90 to 120 mg all through out the day. So taking adequate dosage of Insulin with correct diet is very critical. These other measures have very little effect on maintaining blood glucose levels in the desired range. Since there is absolutely no information on your FBG & PP glucose levels, I can hardly comment. Taking those juices is just for your satisfaction. Those will have NO ROLE IN CONTROLLING BLOOD GLUCOSE. Thanks.

Hi lybrate-user gestational diabetes needs to be well controlled to avoid affecting your child you will have to take insulin or medicines based on your sugar levels you can take karela juice but don't rely on that alone to control sugars as very high sugars can lead to problems such as weight gain in child, low sugars in child after delivery, difficult delivery. Please consult your gynaecologist regularly bd keep checking sugars. I'm not sure if jamun is safe.

Hi lybrate-user mam don't worry about gestational diabetes, it is quite common. What kind of advice get from your gynaecologist. Do not take self medication. What is the your glucose level based on we can take both allopathy and siddha ayurvedha medication. Or better allopathy medicine enough after delivery you can start only herbal medication. Kerala jamun juice helps for general debility only.
