In the first trimester, the general pregnancy reaction is relatively large, and the pregnant mother may lose appetite or vomit obviously, so there is no need to deliberately control sugar at this stage to maintain a balanced diet.

In the middle and late pregnancy, the baby's growth rate increases rapidly. Compared with the first trimester, the average calorie requirement is 300-450 kcal/day. At this time, the appetite of pregnant mothers is gradually improving, so be careful not to consume too many calories, otherwise it will make the weight gain too fast, thus increasing the risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension and macrosomia.

In the choice of staple food, do not eat refined rice flour, but use coarse grains and grains instead, which is conducive to maintaining the stability of blood sugar; Meat can basically be eaten, without skin or fat; Vegetables must be eaten more and varied;

Fruits must be limited,150-200g per day, and fruits with low glycemic index and slow glycemic index should be selected, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, apples, grapefruit and avocados. High sugar, fast sugar rise. Fruits such as winter jujube, watermelon, durian and banana should be avoided as much as possible. Pregnant mothers who have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes should only eat tomatoes and cucumbers.

During the period of sugar control, diet should be based on the principle of small amount and multiple meals.

Pregnant mothers should not eat too much every meal (eight points can be full) to avoid islet function fatigue and effectively control blood sugar. Pregnant mothers can be divided into three main meals and three extra meals. If they have breakfast at 7 am, lunch at noon 12 and dinner at 6 pm, they can add meals at 9 am, 3 pm and 9 pm.

Breakfast: Follow the basic formula of protein+coarse grains, such as 200ml of milk soaked in half a bowl of oatmeal, a boiled egg, and some vegetables and meat can be added if time permits.

Breakfast in the morning: 2 sugar-free biscuits or whole wheat bread.

Lunch: mainly eat miscellaneous grains instead, such as black rice+oats+white rice,1:1: Pregnant mothers who love pasta can choose buckwheat noodles, pasta or miscellaneous grains steamed bread;

Lunch: sugar-free yogurt+nuts

Dinner: coarse grain rice (noodles) or half sweet corn, meat and at least one vegetable.

Because, on the basis of eating less and eating more meals, if you eat at around 6 o'clock in the evening and wait until breakfast at around 7 o'clock the next morning, the fasting time is too long, which may lead to hypoglycemia at night.

Pregnant mothers can take a walk or do other exercises after eating, which is also helpful for sugar control.
