Patient's question:
Every time I don't know what to eat for a meal, especially for breakfast, my blood sugar rises quite quickly. If this continues and cannot be controlled within the normal range, what effects will it have on the fetus? Will it affect childbirth?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Precautions for diabetic diet: 1. The staple food for diabetic patients is generally rice and noodles, but coarse grains such as oats, corn flakes, and cornmeal contain more inorganic salts and vitamins, and are rich in dietary fiber. Dietary fiber has a hypoglycemic effect and is beneficial for controlling blood sugar. 2. The protein source for diabetic patients is preferably soy and soy products. On the one hand, they contain a large amount of high-quality protein; on the other hand, they do not contain cholesterol and have a lipid-lowering effect, so they can replace some animal foods such as meat. 3. When diabetic patients feel hungry during calorie control, they can eat low-sugar vegetables, cook them in water, and add some seasonings to mix. Since vegetables contain a lot of dietary fiber and water, they have low energy supply and a satiating effect, making them essential for diabetic patients. 4. Forbidden foods include: white sugar, red sugar, glucose, and sugar-cooked sweets such as candies, pastries, jams, preserved fruits, ice cream, and sweet drinks. In addition, potatoes, yams, taros, lotus roots, garlic sprouts, and carrots, which contain a lot of carbohydrates, should be used less or the corresponding staple food intake should be reduced after consumption. 5. Fats rich in saturated fatty acids such as lard, butter, vegetable oil, butter, and cream should be used less or preferably not at all. Vegetable oil can replace some animal fats. Peanuts, walnuts, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds also contain a lot of fat, and they should be eaten as little as possible or in moderation, or the intake of oil should be reduced. 6. Eggs and animal internal organs such as liver, brain, and kidneys contain a high amount of cholesterol and should be used as little as possible or not at all. 7. Fruits contain glucose and fructose, which can raise blood sugar, so when blood and urine sugar control is relatively stable, fasting blood sugar
