ayurveda Gestational diabetes: please suggest any remedy

[Guest guest]

Dear DT,

Each case is a very typical case when pregnancy is concerned. No amount of

generalisation is useful. And even over-reliance on some herbs is not

beneficial, because some favourable reports are quoted as praising them. I had

made aware of the impending pit-falls in the very early stages of this

discussion.

After all the doctor who checks the pregnant mother is in the best position to

do justice to her and her baby. No vaidya or doctor can anticipate a situation

and give you sound advice on net. Keeep in touch with your doctor /

obstetrician.

Your frank statement that she needs insulin shots in spite of use of fenugreek

seeds has completed one circle of essential discussion on gestational diabetes

which had prolonged till the last week.

Atleast the vindicated stand is now clear by your follow-up of the case. This

will definitely benefit many in correcting their views about such issues.

After several appointments with the endocrinologist and trying a low

carb diet suggested by the diabetes center my wife is left with no

choice but getting insulin shots before meals to control the sugar

levels. Moreover her ob/gyn was concerned about her not gaining

weight as she approaches her 34th week in pregnancy. Her ob/gyn

mentioned that she must gain atleast 3 lbs and asked her to eat high

calorie foods like yogurt and cheese and not to miss any insulin

shots. With all this she is still taking water from soaked fenugreek

seeds. Hope this is alright.
