what can i do to get my blood sugar level down it is 159?

Question:

i have gestational diabetes and i need to get it down to at least 140!

Answers:
Go to a knowlegable obgyn., exchange refined sugars, for complex carbohydrates such as whole wheat bread instead of whote bread. Stay away from high sugar foodstuffs such as soft drinks, ketchup (55% sugar), candy, etc. Avoid excessive weight gain. Try daily walks at a slow pace for about 20 minutes. Get a lot of rest and take vitamins with minerals supplements daily. consult your obstetrition about which product to use. Your condition is controllable but if neglected could develop into a condition called pre-eclampsia, and eclampsia. (not too common but very serious).
Good luck with your pregnancy, and your new child. (I wish I could do it all over again).
