1, can't eat high-sugar food.
Pregnant women with diabetes should avoid sugar (white sugar, brown sugar, glucose, fruit candy, maltose, milk candy, chocolate and honey) and sugar products (candied fruit, canned fruit, all kinds of sugary drinks, sugary cakes, jams, preserved fruits, ice cream, cookies, soft drinks, fruit juice and cakes, etc.). Because these foods can lead to a rapid rise in blood sugar levels and directly aggravate the condition.
2. Eat less starchy food.
Starch-rich foods, such as rice, white flour, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, melon seeds, fresh broad beans, fresh peas, walnuts, almonds, etc., are mainly decomposed into carbohydrates after entering the human body. Although it is the main source of body heat, it can be directly converted into sugar, which can also increase blood sugar, so it must be limited.
It is best to choose steamed bread made of coarse grains such as corn flour, buckwheat flour and oat flour as the staple food for diabetes. Or replace white rice with brown rice or five-grain rice, and choose whole grain bread or steamed bread, which is more conducive to blood sugar control.
3. Limit high-fat foods
Diabetes itself is the disorder of sugar, fat and protein metabolism caused by absolute or relative deficiency of insulin secretion. Therefore, we must strictly limit the intake of fatty and high-cholesterol foods such as animal viscera, egg yolk, roe, fat, squid, shrimp, crab roe, potato chips, French fries, hamburgers, fried, etc., so as not to aggravate the disorder of lipid metabolism and cause hyperlipidemia.
4, avoid spicy food
Diabetic patients tend to eliminate hunger, be thirsty and drink more, with yin deficiency as the basis and dryness and heat as the standard, while spicy foods such as pepper, ginger, mustard and pepper are warm in nature, which easily consume vaginal fluid and aggravate dryness and heat, so diabetic patients should avoid eating such condiments.
5. Eat less fruits with high sugar content.
Pregnant women with diabetes can eat a small amount of fruit, but the principle is to "exchange food for fruit", which should be eaten 2 hours after meals or before going to bed. At this time, the peak of blood sugar has passed, so it is okay to eat some safe fruits such as cucumber, tomato, peach, apple, pear, grapefruit and papaya.
However, the following fruits are high in sugar content, so try to eat less or not: grapes, litchi, bayberry, citrus, loquat, persimmon, jujube, pineapple, watermelon, melon, longan, coconut, sugar cane and so on.
