Patient's question:
Discovered on January 31, 2013.Doctor's answer:
Dietary intake needs to be controlled. Pregnant women with diabetes generally have a good appetite and consume more food than normal pregnant women. At this time, it is essential to control the amount of food intake. Mainly, it is necessary to limit the consumption of rice, flour, and tuber foods, with a daily intake of about 250 grams. Avoid consuming high-sugar foods, as excessive intake of high-sugar foods can lead to high blood sugar levels, exacerbate diabetic symptoms, or result in "large for gestational age" infants. Generally, the daily caloric requirement is about 30-35 kilocalories per kilogram of body weight. It is best for the hospital's dietitian to create a personalized meal plan based on your specific circumstances.
