Can pregnant women with gestational diabetes eat tofu?

Patient's question:

Since I was a child, I have always liked legume-based foods, especially tofu. Can I eat tofu with gestational diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

Tofu is a soy product, which has a very low sugar content and will never cause blood sugar to rise. During pregnancy, if you have high blood sugar, you can eat tofu without worry. All soy products are safe to eat, as they are rich in plant protein, which helps provide nutrients for the fetus. It is important to pay attention to high blood sugar during pregnancy and avoid consuming foods high in sugar to prevent affecting the normal growth and development of the fetus.
