Pregnancy hormones can make blood sugar tricky, and many mums try to control levels through diet and exercise. Eating balanced meals with plenty of fibre, protein and healthy fats and limiting simple sugars, along with gentle movement like walking, can help. But everyone's body responds differently and sometimes medication is needed to protect you and your baby. It's always best to work with your healthcare team and let them know your concerns so they can find a plan you're comfortable with.
