Precautions for high postpartum blood sugar:

1. It is very necessary for the mother to prepare a blood glucose meter so that she can monitor her blood sugar at any time and keep her blood sugar under good control.

2. After giving birth, mothers can drink brown sugar water to promote the discharge of lochia and replenish energy. However, it is not recommended for pregnant women with high blood sugar to drink sugar water, as it will not be beneficial.

3. Pregnant women with high blood sugar should strictly control sugary foods, avoid fried and other greasy foods, which will increase the burden on the body, and eat more light vegetables and fresh fruits.

4. To ensure normal dietary nutrition, you can eat some whole grains in moderation, and you do not have to pursue too refined cooking methods. Keep eating small and frequent meals.

5. There must be a moderate amount of exercise. You can walk more appropriately during the confinement period. This is also one of the effective ways to reduce and control blood sugar.

What to eat if your blood sugar is high after delivery:

1. Staple food. You can choose to eat 150-300 grams of staple food every day, and you can choose some polished rice and white flour to match with whole grains such as buckwheat, oats, cornmeal, sorghum, etc.

2. Vegetables. Vegetables have little impact on blood sugar because they are rich in inorganic salts, vitamins and fiber. For example, onions, cabbage, tomatoes, etc. contain bioflavonoids, which are natural antioxidants that can maintain the normal function of capillaries. It is recommended that mothers consume at least 500 grams of fresh vegetables every day, and it is better to have more varieties.

3. Fruit. Fruits are rich in vitamins, dietary fiber and inorganic salts, which are very beneficial to health. However, the sugars in fruits are digested and absorbed quickly, which is not suitable for patients with poor blood sugar control. But you can’t avoid eating fruits. It is recommended to eat 150-200 grams of fruits every day, and choose those with low sugar content, such as peaches, strawberries, plums, kiwis, pears, grapefruits, cherries, etc.

4. Milk. It is recommended to choose milk, milk powder and yogurt. Be careful not to choose full-fat milk powder with sugar and yogurt with sugar.
