Patient's question:
My friend is pregnant, and after a thorough examination, she was diagnosed with diabetes. My friend is a bit worried, so I want to ask on her behalf: Can pregnant women with diabetes use fructooligosaccharides and milk sugar? How should it be used, and how much can be consumed at a time? I hope a doctor can see this and give me some advice.Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women with gestational diabetes can use fructooligosaccharides, but it is best to avoid drinking milk sugar to prevent blood sugar from rising again, which may lead to the fetus experiencing intrauterine aspiration and the possibility of a macrosomic baby. It is important to control diet, eat small meals frequently, and avoid overeating. Additionally, it is necessary to minimize the consumption of sweet and starchy foods to prevent sudden spikes in blood sugar.
