Has anyone heard of taking chromium or an herb for gestational diabetes?

I hear all these remedies for type 2 diabetes but none for gestational diabetes. I tried asking this question in the pregnancy section but no one answered. Any information would be helpful and appreciated. I’m seeing a dr and dietician and doing all i can to keep blood sugar down but it’s not working as well as i’d like.

‘Judge Judy’ Thats the most nonsense I have ever heard, even SkepDoc has his limit of talking nonsense. Chromium is in fact an essential mineral, which is exactly that ‘essential’, and can only be obtained from diet.

It is absolutely paramount that you control your blood sugar levels, by following the reccommendations below, but before you read those, you need to have an understanding of why they are reccommended.

If there is too much sugar circulating in the bloodstream that is not immediately being utilised as energy by cells, it will not only acidify the bloodstream, microorganisms will have a picnic and proliferate. This is the reason why diabetics are prone to so many infections {like Candidiasis}, sometimes to th point whereby their limbs must be amputated due to fermentation and decay of flesh, by harmful microorgansisms.

The brain is the only part of the body that cannot adapt well to- or compensate for – erratic changes in blood glucose{a type of sugar} levels. This is the reason why symptoms of blood sugar disorders are as varied as the many functions of the brain, which is invovlved in every sensory, motor, perceptual, cognitive and emotional function in the system. If he brain is not ‘fed’ properly , it is easy for it to become emotionally, physiologically, biologically and physically unstable, leading to mental illness like ‘the common cold’ of psychiatry, or clinical depression to be exact.

Diabetics usually have nutritional dificiencies, most notably ‘Vitamin B-3 and the minerals Chromium and Vanadium’ {Source 1}. Whether or not these nutritional dificiencies contributed to causing diabetes or is a result of diabetes, this is the common medical dillema of the cause and effect debate. Anyhow, leave that to the debaters, in either case, what needs to be done is to supplement a good high-strength multivitamin and multi-mineral {preferably in a amin acid chelated form, as it is more bioavailable {in english…easier for the body to absorb and use}}, ‘Mineral’ is a good brand, which can be purchased cheap on ebay or organicpharmacy.org, and ‘Higher Nautre – Advanced Nutrition Complex’ brand for the multi-vitamin.

Optimal Diet for Diabetics

High in Animal Protein – which will nourish them without straining the pancreas.

Herbs like Neem, Stevia, Licorice, have been shown to balance blood-sugar levels.

======================================…
Suggestions

The following reccommendations will help:

- Replace table sugar with Xylitol, this has a Gylceamic Index value of 8, whereas Sugar has a GI of 64!

- Cinnamon – this spice has been shown to reduce blood-sugar levels, consume a spoonful with meals.

- Bitter Melon, this is officially used in the Phillipines Health Care System, and is prescribed by doctors there, to regulate blood-sugar levels. You can make a delicious indian dish from this, by boiling and stuffing with mince meat.

- Eat lots of Oats – they contain beta-glucan which is a powerful anti-diabetic nutrient

- Chromium – this works with insulin to help it bind to hormone receptor sites on the plasma membranes of cells. Chromium also helps prevent the shape of insulin being deformed, and chromium also is in the make-up of the insulin receptors on cell membranes. 400-600mcg of Chromium per day

Hope this helps.

What is the relation of gestational diabetes and weight gain?

Today, I went to have my glucose screening test done along with my 27th week check up and saw that I gained about 10 lbs in a month! I was horrified and cannot figure out what would cause such a thing since I don’t eat much junk food and try to eat smaller, more frequent meals. So far, I have gained 15 lbs this pregnancy, my doctor thinks it could be gestational diabetes, I cannot help but be scared to death about this, I have the feeling that I am not trying hard enough to maintain a healthy baby. Does anyone have any advice or input about the relation of the two?
Also, the heart rate of my baby was 170, probably from the flat orange soda glucose liquid, but I am very concerned about all of it.
All other tests during pregnancy have been normal, and I am Rh Negative. Diabetes does not run in my family, and no one else had gestational while pregnant. Thanks

There’s more relation to preeclampsia and large weight gain, but right now you’re doing fine!

Gaining weight is just a part of pregnancy. While it’s scary to think about, your body is doing what it should be doing. Your doctor is monitoring SO many aspects of your health (getting tired of peeing in the cup yet?) and if your doctor isn’t worried, you shouldn’t be.

And the heartrate is fine. :-)

I have gestational diabetes, and I need tips to lower fasting blood sugar.?

I was diagnosed with GD about two weeks ago, and I have been really good at lowering my 2 hours post eating blood levels to under 120 – 2 hours after eating. But every morning my fasting levels are always at 130-140, and when you have GD they need to be below 95. Does anyone have any tips on what can lower that morning number.

Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes which affects pregnant women. It is believed that the hormones produced during pregnancy reduce a woman’s receptivity to insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels. Gestational diabetes affects about 4% of all pregnant women. It is estimated that about 135,000 cases of gestational diabetes arise in the United States each year.

Hormones involved in development of placenta, which helps the baby to develop also blocks, the action of the mother’s insulin in her body. This problem is called insulin resistance. During pregnancy a mother may need up to three times more insulin for glucose to leave the blood and transform to energy. When body is not able to use insulin due to insulin resistance it develops into Gestational Diabetes. Glucose builds up in the blood to high level, it is called hyperglycemia.

Gestational diabetes affects the mother in late pregnancy and the baby too. Insulin does not cross the placenta, as glucose and other nutrients do. Extra blood glucose passes through the placenta that gives the baby a high blood glucose level. It results the baby’s pancreas to make extra insulin to get rid of the blood glucose. Since the baby is getting more energy than it needs to develop and grow, the extra energy is stored as fat. It can lead to Macrosomia i.e. “Fat” baby. At birth this fat baby develops problem in breathing or may develop hypoglycemia due to over production of insulin.

Why there is a need to take care of gestational diabetes
Gestational diabetes can harm you and your baby, so you need to consider about it seriously and start caring at once. The main aim of gestational diabetes treatment is to keep blood glucose levels equal to those of normal pregnant women. It needs a planned meal and scheduled physical activity, even blood glucose testing and insulin injections if required. If gestational diabetes is taken care off properly, reduces the risk of a cesarean section birth that high weight babies may require.

What is the probability of being induced due to gestational diabetes?

i am 35 weeks pregnant and just found out i have gestational diabetes. At my last doctors apt the baby was 4 pounds and they estimated at the time of deliver he would be 7 1/2 pounds so everything was looking perfect. Now with the new of having diabetes, im curious if they will induce me. Is it common to be induced if you have gestational diabetes or do they normally go full term?

My dr will let you go full term if the baby doesnt get too big for you to deliver safely. He monitors the size weekly starting at about 36 weeks.

My Pregnancy week 28

Updates on my pregnancy, took test for gestational diabetes, and did more baby shopping.
