26 weeks checkup revealed high blood sugar. The doctor only told me I can't eat congee and sweets.

Patient's question:

26 weeks of careful examination revealed high blood sugar. The doctor only told me not to eat congee and sweets. I want to know if I can drink chicken soup and pork rib soup. What fruits can I eat regularly? I'm afraid the baby won't get enough nutrition.

Doctor's answer:

There are two types of diabetes during early pregnancy: one is having diabetes before pregnancy, and the other is developing or discovering it after becoming pregnant. Your situation involves diabetes. Generally, the reference values for fasting and post-meal (1 and 2 hours) blood glucose during pregnancy are 5.1, 10.0, and 8.5, respectively. Based on your self-measured blood glucose levels, your fasting blood glucose is within the normal range, but your post-meal blood glucose does not fully meet the target.
2. While dietary control is important for gestational diabetes, it is also essential not to over-restrict your diet.
