🩺 Doctor Tip: Don’t rely on memory when it comes to your medications.

Keep a list of the medication name, dose, frequency and reason for taking it.

Keep it on your phone. You may need it when you least expect it.

[Dr Priscajenny Philip @priskajennix]

Your body doesn’t always shout. Sometimes it whispers.

😴 Persistent fatigue
💧 Excessive thirst/urination
⚖️ Unexplained weight loss
���� Recurrent headaches
😮‍💨 Breathlessness
🦶 Persistent swelling

Don’t panic. Don’t ignore persistent or unusual symptoms either.

Listen. Check.

Don’t skip meals to “control” diabetes.

Focus on balanced meals, smaller portions of carbs, water instead of sugary drinks, and taking your medication as prescribed.

Diabetes management is about consistency—not starvation.

Don’t skip your blood sugar check.

Gestational diabetes can develop even if you’ve never had diabetes before.

Risk may be higher if you previously had a baby ≥4 kg or have a family history of diabetes.

🩺 Start antenatal care early & follow your provider’s advice on testing.

🥚 Why protein is your best friend with diabetes:

It can help you stay fuller, support muscle health and make meals more balanced.

Try eggs, fish, chicken or beans.

Pair your carbs with protein + fibre rather than eliminating carbs completely.

Which protein is your favourite?
