A pregnant woman discovers her affected by gestational diabetes during the 4th month. Apart from the changing diatery habits and light exercise, she is on daily dose of insulin before food thrice a day. Her present BS is 165. Is there any safe ayurvedic medicine by which she can cut down on insulin and also reduce blood sugar?

Please reconsider. Insulin has no side affects for the baby and is a "natural" remedy because it’s a hormone. It’s been in use for over 50 years. In contrast, many oral medications have either not been tested for pregnancy, or they have seen them cause birth defects in mice.

It’s vital that she keep those blood sugars under 130 after eating, and a slight increase in her insulin would easily take care of that 165.

Meanwhile, the consequences of uncontrolled blood sugars are serious: birth defects, increased risk of miscarriage, deterioration of the placenta, weight gain in the baby, and the baby having a blood sugar crash when born (removing the mom’s high blood sugar causes the baby to crash). You don’t want a baby that has to be in the hospital simply because it’s inconvenient to take an insulin shot.

    if her sugars are in the 160’s, she needs to take more insulin, not attempt to cut down.
