Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for nearly four months recently, and I don't know how my limbs have been weak and always feeling like I'm about to faint. I've been constantly thirsty and dry mouthed, needing to drink a lot of water, and running to the bathroom frequently. The urine has a strong odor. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I've been eating a lot of garlic sprouts lately. Can I eat garlic sprouts with gestational diabetes?Doctor's answer:
You are pregnant and have split diabetes. The most obvious symptoms are "three more and one less," which means eating more, drinking more, urinating more, but weight loss, accompanied by dryness, and even severe nausea, vomiting, which can lead to dehydration and electrolyte disorders. Another common symptom is fatigue, because the glucose you consume cannot be fully utilized, and the decomposition metabolism increases, so you cannot gain energy from digestion. Gestational diabetes patients can eat garlic. Staple foods are generally based on rice and noodles, but coarse grains like oatmeal, cornmeal, and corn have more inorganic salts and vitamins, and they also contain dietary fiber, which has a blood sugar-lowering effect and is beneficial for controlling blood sugar.
