you are probably taking too much carbs and sugar (from the bread, buns and sugar rolls). please take more protein especially for breakfast such as eggs. this will help with your body weight. watch your portions too, follow the healthy plate. protein should be palm sized, vegetables palm sized, rice fist sized, fats thumb sized. As for GD patients, it’s always important to exercise so if you want to prevent it, just start going for walks. time yourself to walk at least 20mins, no need complicated exercises to start. i will time myself 10mins walking out of the house and U-turn for 10mins walk back home.
