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 body. Can I eat orange peels with gestational diabetes?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, if blood sugar is lower than normal, you should not eat oranges, as they have a high sugar content and may cause blood sugar to rise. Fruits with high sugar content should also be avoided. Rice, noodles, and other foods containing starch also have high sugar content and should be consumed in moderation. High blood sugar may affect the normal growth and development of the fetus, so it is important to pay attention and undergo regular prenatal check-ups. Participate actively in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
