Can pregnant women with gestational diabetes drink chicken soup?

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 drink chicken soup with gestational diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

If you get diabetes during pregnancy, you can drink chicken soup. Chicken soup has high nutritional value and contains no sugar, so you can eat chicken and drink chicken soup with peace of mind. However, it's best not to add too much salt and avoid drinking it too salty. If your blood sugar is too high during pregnancy, you must pay more attention to your diet. Avoid eating things with a lot of sugar, and don't eat too much at one time for dinner. Eat less and more often, and measure your blood sugar regularly.
