Blood Sugar * Glucose
MYO & D-Chiro Inositol
Myo-inositol and D-chiro inositol are natural compounds that play a vital role in supporting healthy glucose levels during pregnancy.
By enhancing insulin sensitivity and promoting efficient glucose use, these nutrients can help lower the risk of gestational diabetes while ensuring steady energy and healthy weight gain. For women with a history of blood sugar issues or PCOS, inositol supplementation may foster balanced glucose levels and hormonal stability.
Embracing myo- and D-chiro inositol can create a nurturing environment for your baby's growth and keep you feeling your best throughout this special time.

Chromium, Cinnamon & Iodine – Natural Support for Healthy Blood Sugar in Pregnancy.
During pregnancy, balanced blood sugar is essential for your energy, your baby’s growth, and reducing the risk of gestational diabetes. Chromium is a trace mineral that helps your body use insulin more effectively, allowing glucose to move into cells for energy. Cinnamon has been shown in studies to support insulin sensitivity and help maintain steady glucose levels, offering a gentle, food-based way to aid blood sugar balance. Iodine, while best known for supporting thyroid function, also plays a role in metabolic health—helping regulate energy use and overall hormonal balance, which indirectly supports glucose stability. Together, these nutrients can work synergistically to promote a steady flow of energy, reduce sugar crashes, and create a healthy environment for your growing baby.
Always choose pregnancy-safe forms and consult your midwife or provider before adding supplements, ensuring your plan is tailored to your needs.
Lingo CGM
A Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), like the Lingo device, can be a powerful tool for expecting mothers who want to better understand and support their blood sugar during pregnancy.
By providing real-time feedback on how your body responds to foods, activity, stress, and sleep, a CGM helps you see patterns that may not be visible with occasional finger-stick tests. Stable glucose levels are important for preventing gestational diabetes, supporting steady energy, and promoting healthy growth for your baby.
With a CGM, you can make gentle adjustments—like pairing protein with carbs, walking after meals, or choosing lower-glycemic foods—that keep your numbers in a healthy range. This technology, paired with good nutrition and midwifery guidance, can empower you to feel confident and proactive in supporting your pregnancy wellness
Stelo CGM
Understanding Stelo: A Window into Glucose Trends
-
What is Stelo? How it works:
-
Worn on the back of the upper arm, it tracks glucose every 15 minutes for up to 15 days, syncing with an app that highlights spikes, trends, and offers helpful tips to minimize glucose fluctuations.
-
During Pregnancy:
While not designed for managing hypoglycemia, Stelo can be used during pregnancy if you’re not on insulin and don’t risk low blood sugar episodes .
Preventing Gestational Diabetes: What Really Works
-
Focus on whole foods:
Prioritize a diet rich in plant-based, fiber-filled ingredients—whole grains, veggies, fruits, nuts—to support healthy glucose levels .
-
Consider myo‑inositol supplements:
Emerging evidence suggests it may improve insulin sensitivity, potentially reducing the risk of developing GDM .
-
Stay active with safe movement:
Keeping up light to moderate exercise—like walking, prenatal yoga, or light strength routines—for at least 30 minutes, 3x per week can significantly lower GDM risk .
-
Build healthy habits early:
If you’ve had GDM before, use the time before or between pregnancies to reinforce healthy eating, staying active, and maintaining a healthy weight .
-
Empower your understanding:
Stelo helps you see firsthand how your meals, movement, stress, and sleep affect your glucose—knowledge you can use to tweak habits in real time .
-
Make informed choices:
If your glucose is rising after a meal, you can experiment with swapping high-GI foods for fiber-rich alternatives, or take a short post-meal walk
Red Light
Red Light Therapy & Blood Sugar 💡
Recent research has shown that just 15 minutes of exposure to red light (around 670 nm) before eating can help reduce the size of blood sugar spikes—by as much as 27% in some studies.
The gentle light stimulates your cells’ mitochondria (your “energy factories”) to work more efficiently, which can help your body use glucose from the bloodstream more effectively.
