Patient's question:
Recently, during my prenatal check-up, the doctor told me I have gestational diabetes. What can I eat for breakfast with gestational diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women with diabetes are encouraged to have a balanced diet with three meals a day, especially emphasizing that breakfast should not include foods like congee. It is advisable to consume appropriate amounts of milk, vegetables, and eggs, and to supplement with a certain quantity of cross-linked vitamins. Starchy foods should definitely be included, preferably in a dry form rather than a liquid form, with a portion not exceeding two taels. It is recommended to engage in light activity for about half an hour after meals, which can effectively control blood sugar levels. It is not advisable to consume large amounts of fruit or other high-sugar foods at once.
