Patient's question:
Now I am 29 weeks pregnant. Two days ago, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. At 25 weeks, my urine test showed 1+ white blood cells and 2+ glucose, while previous urine tests were normal. Two days ago, during the glucose tolerance test, the first blood draw after fasting was 5.38, and one hour after drinking the glucose solution, the result was 11.92. Two hours later, the result was 10.35. I have now started experiencing fatigue symptoms. The doctor has advised me to adjust my diet first.Doctor's answer:
Hello, low-sugar pure milk is acceptable, and low-sugar oatmeal is also fine. It is recommended to eat low-glycemic index vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, green vegetables, celery, etc. Fruits like grapefruits, kiwis, strawberries, and green apples are good choices. Protein should be selected as high-quality protein, such as lean meat, milk, and fish. For staple foods, it is best to choose coarse grains, such as cornmeal, buckwheat noodles, and oatmeal-based steamed buns. However, attention should be paid to portion sizes. It is recommended to consult a professional dietitian in the hospital's nutrition department to develop an individualized dietary treatment plan based on the patient's condition.
