For the recipe of gestational diabetes, rice, steamed bread, flower rolls, noodles and jiaozi can be the main staple foods, but there is a limit on the amount of each meal, and it is best to eat three meals a day, and the staple food for each meal should not exceed100g.

The protein supply of gestational diabetes mellitus patients is close to that of normal people, and it is generally 1.0g per kilogram of body weight per day. However, when the disease is not well controlled, the consumption of protein will increase, often showing a negative nitrogen balance. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately increase the supply of protein, generally at a daily rate of 1.0~ 1.5g/kg, in which high-quality protein should account for 1/3~2/3 of protein's intake, and the heat energy supplied by protein should account for13 of the total heat energy.

Vegetables that can be eaten for gestational diabetes include green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, Chinese cabbage, celery, leek, lettuce, etc., and carrots can be eaten, which can be divided into three times between 500 and 800 grams per day.
