What should pregnant women with high blood sugar during pregnancy pay attention to in their daily diet?

1. Eat small meals frequently and have higher nutritional needs during pregnancy, especially after entering the second and third trimester of pregnancy. It is not advisable to control blood sugar simply by reducing intake, but we can consider increasing the number of meals and reducing the intake of a single meal, so as to ensure the daily supply of energy and nutrients and ensure that the intake of a single meal will not be excessive. , to avoid excessive blood sugar.

2. Control starch intake. Many patients with hyperglycemia and pregnant women do not know which foods are high in starch and which are low in starch. High-starch foods generally include broad beans, potatoes, vermicelli, roasted bran, oily gluten, etc. It is best not to eat these foods because pregnant women have high blood sugar.

3. Reduce the intake of junk food. After pregnancy, eat less overly processed foods such as pickled and fried foods, and control all kinds of carbonated drinks, juice drinks, and milk tea.

For example, low-calorie fruits, do not choose high-calorie foods such as biscuits, candies, melon seeds, and potato chips.

4. Eat the right kind of sugar. Sugar intake is to provide calories, maintain normal metabolism, and avoid ketones. Don’t mistakenly think that not eating starch can control blood sugar or weight, but don’t eat it at all; instead, try to avoid sugary drinks and sweets containing refined sugars such as sucrose, granulated sugar, fructose, glucose, rock sugar, honey, maltose, etc., and avoid eating them after meals. Blood sugar rises rapidly. It is recommended to try to choose unrefined staple foods with high fiber content, which are more conducive to blood sugar control, such as brown rice or whole grains instead of white rice, whole grain pasta, etc. Diabetic pregnant women have higher blood sugar in the morning, so the content of starchy foods in breakfast must be small.

5. Control oil and drink less soup. Excessive fat intake will lead to excessive total energy intake and will also affect the effect of blood sugar control. Sugar mummies should try to limit excessive fat intake. Eat less greasy food, such as fatty meat, pork belly, pig's feet, chicken skin, etc. Eat less fried foods, such as fried dough sticks, crispy pork, fried chicken legs, chicken steaks, etc. Change your cooking habits. Don’t blindly choose cooking methods such as frying, frying, and roasting. Instead, use cooking methods such as boiling, stewing, stewing, and cold dressing.
