Patient's question:
I have gestational diabetes. My mom says that people with diabetes cannot eat rice, but I have gestational diabetes. Can people with gestational diabetes eat rice?Doctor's answer:
Hello, diabetic patients need to pay attention to controlling their diet in daily life. Control the intake of staple foods, avoid eating sugar and sweet foods, and consume rice in very small amounts. Also, reduce the consumption of bread. Drink milk, soy milk, etc. You can choose coarse grains as substitutes, such as millet, sweet potatoes, and other foods. Pay attention to controlling the intake of dietary calories. Engage in appropriate activities and carry out prenatal examinations regularly.
