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 compared to normal pregnant women. At this time, it is essential to control the amount of food intake. Mainly, it involves limiting the consumption of rice, flour, and tuber foods to around 250 grams per day. Avoid eating foods high in sugar, as excessive intake can lead to high blood sugar levels, worsen diabetes symptoms, or result in "large for gestational age" babies. Generally, the daily caloric requirement is approximately 30-35 kilocalories per kilogram of body weight. It is best to have the hospital's dietitian create a personalized meal plan based on your individual circumstances.
