Patient's question:
Pregnant 24 weeks, feeling weak. Urine sugar is normal, blood sugar is 8.1, HBA is 122%. Clearly.Doctor's answer:
First and foremost, for diabetic patients, it is important to eat small, frequent meals and pay attention to a low-salt, low-fat, and low-sugar diet. At the same time, it is also necessary to be mindful of foods that are high in energy and contain high starch content, as these should be consumed in moderation or avoided altogether. Foods like Chinese yam, lotus root, taro, carrots, onions, garlic sprouts, fatty meats, animal oils, and animal organs such as eggs, kidneys, liver, and intestines should be eaten sparingly. Additionally, high-calorie foods like walnuts, sunflower seeds, and peanuts should be limited for those who are overweight.Choose low-glycemic index foods such as vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, and celery, and fruits like grapefruits and kiwis. Opt for high-quality protein sources such as lean meat and fish. For staple foods, it is best to choose cornmeal, buckwheat, or oatmeal, but all should be consumed in moderation.
It is recommended to visit the nutrition center of a diabetes specialty hospital. The dietitian will create a personalized dietary plan for you, allowing for precise evaluation of your condition and individualized treatment based on standardized guidelines. This fine-tuned, dynamic control will help you achieve the most ideal treatment outcomes.
