Snacking with Gestational Diabetes on the Go
How To Keep Blood Sugar Levels Stable While Traveling?
Traveling can be unpredictable and require flexibility. But if you have gestational diabetes, it’s important to maintain blood sugar balance even on the go.
The Problem: Lack Of Suitable Foods
One of the main problems when traveling is finding appropriate foods. Choices are often limited on buses and trains.
Solution: Pack small portions of gluten-free, dietary snacks with a low glycemic index.
Snack Examples
- Dried fruits and nuts (but check for added sugar)
- Plain cream cheese
- Fruit slices in their own juice
- Buckwheat (cooked in advance)
How To Choose The Right Foods?
When choosing snacks with gestational diabetes:
- Assess portions: small, but nutritious.
- Avoid added sugar: natural sweeteners are better than artificial ones.
- Consider fiber content: it helps regulate blood glucose levels.
