Can pregnant women with gestational diabetes eat nuts?

Patient's question:

I heard from a friend that eating dried fruits is very good for children's brain and nervous system, but it is said that dried fruits have a lot of calories and can affect gestational diabetes. Hello, which dried fruits can be eaten?

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, if a pregnant woman has gestational diabetes, under normal circumstances, in addition to not being able to eat sweets, many nuts can be consumed. It is also appropriate to eat more low-sugar fruits to supplement the body's vitamins, and more foods rich in folic acid can be consumed to promote fetal growth and development. During treatment, it is important to enhance nutrition, increase activity, and exercise regularly, and to go to the hospital for prenatal check-ups periodically.
