Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has been affected. Now I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my condition. Could you please tell me what a gestational diabetes diet is like?Doctor's answer:
Patients with gestational diabetes should pay attention to their diet. Avoid thick soups containing rice or noodles in their regular meals. Instead, base their diet on vegetable soups, soy milk, and milk, and increase the intake of staple foods. They should consume a lot of coarse grains and avoid high-sugar fruits. It is appropriate to use many leafy vegetables and low-sugar fruits. Eat small meals frequently and avoid overeating. Monitor blood sugar levels regularly. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
