Patient's question:
Yesterday I just checked the diabetes screening, it was 5.3.Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy diabetes refers to a condition where a person who has not had diabetes before pregnancy develops high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. The purpose of dietary control for pregnant diabetes patients is to provide sufficient calories and nutrients to the mother and fetus, allowing both to gain weight appropriately while maintaining ideal blood sugar control, preventing gestational hypertension, and reducing the occurrence of premature birth, miscarriage, and difficult labor.Advice:
Avoid sugary drinks and sweets that contain sucrose, sugar, fructose, glucose, rock sugar, honey, or maltose as much as possible. Use vegetable oils for cooking and reduce fried, deep-fried, or fried foods, as well as animal skins and fatty meats. Increase the intake of high-fiber foods, such as replacing white rice with brown rice or mixed-grain rice, eating more vegetables, and consuming fresh fruits instead of fruit juices.
