For pregnant mothers, eating is also a headache. If they eat too little, they are afraid that the nutrition of the fetus may not keep up. But if you eat too much, you worry that your blood sugar levels will rise. Many pregnant women have high blood sugar levels due to excessive food intake. What should they do if their blood sugar levels are high during pregnancy?
When pregnant women find that their blood sugar levels are high, the most important thing to do is to control their diet. However, controlling diet here does not mean preventing pregnant women from overeating. It is recommended that pregnant women do not overeat, and it is best to ensure that they are 80% full. When they feel hungry, they can increase the frequency of meals in moderation. This can effectively control one's blood sugar levels and prevent fat accumulation in the body.
Pregnant women should also be cautious in their food selection, and they should not eat foods high in sugar. Especially among fruits, those with particularly sweet flavors, such as longan, lychee, watermelon, cantaloupe, cherry, etc., are all high sugar fruits that pregnant women with high blood sugar levels should avoid.
Regulating blood sugar levels through diet is one of the methods, but pregnant women with severely elevated blood sugar levels need to take some medication to control their blood sugar levels. If relying solely on diet to control blood sugar cannot achieve the desired effect, one's own blood sugar levels will continue to rise, which will also affect the health of the fetus.
