Diet & nutrition in diabetes
Hello,
I am 36 years female. I was diagnosed with high blood sugar in the month of October 2023. It was a health check up prior to IVF. My egg retrival process is over. I am on metformin 500 mg twice daily . I am maintaining a strict diet.
Currently my fasting sugar level is 96, Post Meal Sugar level 110 and Hbac1 is 6.2. I am preparing for embryo transfer soon.
But while going through strict diet, I have lost around 3 - 4 kg weight. But I was never over
weight and so I do not want to lose weight any further.
I want to know if I can opt for protein powder that are available in the market to gain weight? What type of protein power is safe for diabetic. Kindly advice.
Thanks in advance
