Sick of Water? Low-Carb Drinks for Gestational Diabetes

You know that you should be drinking water. And it often feels like you are in the middle of the desert. That pregnancy thirst is no joke. But while the increased fluid demands in pregnancy have you thirstier than ever, you may get sick of water.

Per ACOG recommendations, you should aim for 8-12 cups (64-96 oz) of water daily. If you’re looking for some drinks for gestational diabetes and you are limiting your carbs, we’ve got you covered.

Infused Water

One way to flavor your water is to add fruit. Enjoy the flavor of your favorite fruit—without the carbs. 

Although you can buy a water bottle made especially for infusing, it’s not necessary. Simply fill up a glass pitcher or 32 oz jar with water and add your fruit of choice. You can slightly crush the fruit to better release the flavor. The container can be kept in the fridge until it reaches your preferred flavor profile. The longer the fruit infuses, the stronger the flavor.

  • Cucumber
  • Lime
  • Watermelon
  • Kiwi
  • Strawberries
  • Raspberries
  • Blackberries
  • Lemon
  • Oranges
  • Grapefruit
  • Mint
  • Pineapple
  • Mango
  • Cantaloupe
  • Ginger
  • Peach

Coconut Water

Drinking coconut water is another way to boost your fluid intake. One 8 oz serving contains 11 grams of carbohydrates and electrolytes that will help keep you hydrated.

Tea

There are many varieties of tea that you can try. Some ingredients, like ginger and peppermint, can be soothing if you are experiencing morning sickness. 

Please note that some herbal teas should be avoided during pregnancy, so we suggest talking to your doctor first before consuming herbs.

  • Ginger root
  • Peppermint
  • Lemon balm
  • Cinnamon
  • Rose hips

Prebiotic Sodas

Prebiotic sodas are all the rage right now, and for good reason. These sodas provide prebiotic fiber, which helps support a healthy gut. 

Plus, prebiotic sodas are typically lower in added sugar than regular soda, which can have up to 42 grams of carbs in a can.

We’ve listed some of the more popular brands widely available along with the amount of carbs per 12-oz serving: 

  • Poppi (6-8 grams carbs)
  • Olipop (13-16 grams carbs)
  • Culture Pop (10 grams carbs)
  • No Cap (4-9 grams carbs)
  • SunSip (10-13 grams carbs)

Sparkling Water

Craving the refreshing fizz of a soda? You could try sparkling water. Most stores carry carbonated water that has been flavored with natural fruit juices. 

Be sure to check the ingredient list, because some brands add artificial colorings and sweeteners. Here are some that are flavored naturally: 

  • Spindrift (1-4 grams carbs)
  • Bubly (0 grams carbs)
  • LaCroix (0 grams carbs)
  • Waterloo (0 grams carbs)

Managing gestational diabetes doesn’t have to mean boring beverages. With the right options, you can stay hydrated, keep blood sugar in check, and enjoy what you’re drinking.

Whether you’re craving something sparkling, fruity, or creamy, there are smart, low-carb choices that fit your lifestyle and your care plan.
