Pregnant women with gestational diabetes should pay attention to dietary management. Fruits should be limited, and attention should be paid to the timing of eating fruits. Generally, fruits are recommended to be consumed in small amounts after meals that include vegetables, meat, and high-protein foods. Apples are suggested to be limited to 1/4. Kiwi is a fruit with relatively low sugar content, and it is recommended to replace it with vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and radishes, instead of fruits. These vegetables are rich in vitamins and fiber while containing low sugar levels, making them suitable for diabetic pregnant women. Additionally, attention should be paid to physical activity.
