Patient's question:
I have reached the late stage of pregnancy, but recently, after a thorough check-up, I found that my blood sugar is a bit abnormal. Post-meal blood sugar is 6.9. This result is not very pleasing to me, but I don't know what I should pay attention to in terms of diet. Moreover, I rarely feel troubled every day. I would like to be more normal. What kind of help is needed: What fruits should be eaten with gestational diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Gestational diabetes, like general pregnant women, absolutely cannot do without calories, protein, calcium, iron, folic acid, B vitamins, and more. However, special attention must be paid to meal times. With the total calorie intake remaining unchanged, it is best to eat small meals more frequently and pay attention to the distribution of quality and quantity. This can help keep blood sugar more stable.Regarding fruits, any type can be eaten, but it is important to limit the amount and try to avoid fruit juices as much as possible. For example, a cup of orange juice contains the equivalent of three or four whole fruits. Choosing lower-carbohydrate beverages as snacks can help reduce pancreatic pressure. Eating more foods rich in fiber can slow down the rise in blood sugar, help control blood sugar levels, and also provide a greater sense of fullness. Proper exercise is also necessary.
