Eating coarse grains in moderation in daily diet is beneficial to health. Especially, some women have high blood sugar during pregnancy, so it is necessary to eat reasonable dietary nutrition and pay attention to eating some foods that are beneficial to sugar control. So, what coarse grains do pregnant women eat to lower blood sugar?

Pregnant women have high blood sugar and need to control sugar intake in their diet. Generally, coarse grains with low sugar content include buckwheat, oat, brown rice, sorghum, wheat, corn, black rice, potato, sweet potato, black bean, soybean, mung bean, cowpea, etc. These coarse grains contain vitamins, dietary fiber and inorganic salts, which not only have low sugar content, but also help sugar metabolism, and are good foods for patients with gestational hyperglycemia.

In addition, vegetables contain more dietary fiber, and pregnant women with hyperglycemia can choose vegetables with less sugar, such as lettuce, cauliflower, kale, cucumber, celery, green vegetables, asparagus, cauliflower and mushrooms. Generally, the sugar content of fruits is high, so most fruits should not be eaten too much. You can eat some fruits with low sugar content in moderation, such as grapefruit, strawberry, tomato and kiwi fruit.

In order to meet the nutritional needs of the mother and fetus during pregnancy, the diet should not only be reasonably matched, but also avoid the increase of blood sugar caused by too much sugar in food. Therefore, we should pay attention to controlling the consumption of high-sugar foods to avoid excessive sugar intake in the body. Women with hyperglycemia during pregnancy should control their weight and measure at least once a week. Moderate exercise can prevent weight gain and help control blood sugar stability.
