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, and now I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Can I eat kumquats with gestational diabetes?Doctor's answer:
The kumquat contains a certain amount of sugar and is relatively sweet, which may lead to an increase in blood sugar levels. During pregnancy, if you have high blood sugar, it is not recommended to eat them. In terms of fruits, you can have a little cucumber, as it has very low sugar content and will not affect blood sugar levels. It is essential to strictly control sugar intake to avoid a significant rise in blood sugar, which could impact the normal development and growth of the fetus. Participate actively in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
