Answer 1

Since more than one question has been asked, as per the rules, only the first question has to be answered.

1. The correct answer is (d) Consume small frequent consistent carbohydrate meals.

Frequnet monitored quantities of carbohydrate helps to keep the blood glucose levels stable. As the nutrient requirements are high in pregnancy, the lady cannot be advised to avoid all grains and sugars. Oral diabetic medicines are contraindicated in pregnancy due to their teratogenic potential and only insulin therapy is administered during pregnancy. Hence, options (a), (b) and (c) are wrong.
