26-week checkup high blood sugar what can you eat

Patient's question:

26 weeks of careful examination revealed high blood sugar. The doctor only told me not to eat congee and sweets. I want to know if I can drink chicken soup and pork rib soup. What fruits can I eat daily? I'm worried the baby won't get enough nutrients.

Doctor's answer:

During early pregnancy, there are two types of diabetes: one is having diabetes before pregnancy, and the other is developing or discovering it after becoming pregnant. Your situation involves diabetes. Generally, the reference values for fasting and post-meal (1 and 2 hours) blood glucose during pregnancy are 5.1, 10.0, and 8.5, respectively. Based on your self-measured blood glucose levels, your fasting blood glucose is within the normal range, but your post-meal blood glucose has not fully met the target.
2. While dietary control is important for gestational diabetes, it is also essential not to over-restrict your diet.
