Patient's question:
Can pregnant women with gestational diabetes eat watermelon?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women with diabetes should not eat watermelon. After pregnancy, if there is a decrease in various degrees of glucose tolerance or obvious diabetes, whether or not insulin is needed or only dietary treatment is used, and whether this condition persists after delivery, it can be considered as gestational diabetes. Insulin therapy is required during pregnancy. Oral hypoglycemic drugs and high sugar toxicity can easily lead to fetal malformations or miscarriage. It is recommended that you go to a specialized hospital for diabetes for further detailed examination. This will allow for an accurate evaluation of your condition, personalized treatment based on standardized principles, and only good blood sugar control can ensure the healthy growth of the baby. Strict dietary control and appropriate exercise.
