Patient's question:
What fruits can pregnant women with gestational diabetes eat?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women with gestational diabetes should avoid hawthorn: It invigorates the blood, promotes blood circulation, and has a certain uterine contracting effect. During the early stages of pregnancy, it should be consumed in small amounts. Pregnant women with a history of miscarriage or those showing signs of miscarriage should avoid it, even in processed forms.Lychee and longan: From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, women's constitution tends to be hot after pregnancy, and yin blood is often insufficient. During this time, some hot fruits like lychee and longan should be consumed in moderation, as excessive intake may lead to constipation, mouth ulcers, and other symptoms of "overheating."
