Patient's question:
I am 28 weeks pregnant. At 24 weeks, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during a glucose screening test. I was hospitalized for four days to adjust my blood sugar, but it didn't improve much. The doctor prescribed insulin for me to inject 30 minutes before lunch and dinner every day until delivery. I bought a blood glucose meter to test my blood sugar at home, but recently it has been difficult to control. My friend told me that dried fruits are very good for the child's brain and nervous system, but I heard that dried fruits are high in calories and can affect gestational diabetes. Could you please tell me which dried fruits are safe to eat?Doctor's answer:
