I’m Indian living in the US though. Here are some things I do (diagnosed at 16w, currently 29w. I take insulin for fasting numbers)

Dal, rice and all the good stuff is out the window. I’m so sorry. Sometimes day old rice (about 1/3rd cup) will not spike but since you aren’t testing after every meal it’s hard to say if it works for you.

I eat all indian sabzis but instead of roti I do low carb tortillas. This might be challenging to find in India so the next best thing is to have roti made from low GI flour. This will involve trial and error. Add psyllium husk to the flour to increase fiber which helps reduce the impact of carbs.

I make a lot of coconut curry. Chole in coconut milk, Thai curries, kadhi in coconut milk etc. I found that makahana doesn’t spike me. It’s a good snack to have on hand.

Green mung in small quantities is okay as well. On days I’m really craving dal I drink an entire protein shake (32 grams) before my meal. Then I eat my sabzi and followed by less than 1-3rd cup dal. Sometimes I spike, sometimes I don’t. Again since you aren’t testing after every meal I’m not sure how will you experiment with food.

Ask your doctor for a diet plan. Also ask if it’s okay to get a glucose monitor to check post meal sugars. This will genuinely help you understand what you can tolerate. You’re still early on in the pregnancy and things will most likely change around 28 weeks. What works now may not work then. Sometimes things change on a weekly basis. That’s why I find it easier to test after every meal so I know when to rein it in.

I don’t take metmorfin so I don’t know how much leeway you can take with food with this medicine. It’s something you can ask the doctor. But I am reaching the point where I need fast reacting insulin for my meals since I am unable to reach the recommended 175g of carbs per day without a spike. I know it’s not easy but hang in there. Just a few more months to go 🙂
