During pregnancy, if a pregnant woman does not pay attention to the taboos in life and diet, it is easy to cause pregnancy complications, which not only affects the health of the pregnant woman, but also affects the normal development of the fetus. The most common complication of pregnancy is pregnancy diabetes. For this reason, pregnant women want to know whether pregnancy diabetes can cause hypoglycemia?
For pregnant women with gestational diabetes, gestational diabetes generally does not cause hypoglycemia, but is prone to hyperglycemia. This is because during pregnancy, in addition to the diet that will increase the blood sugar content of pregnant women, there will also be glucocorticoid secreted in pregnant women. The secretion of glucocorticoid will make the blood sugar in a high state, making it difficult for pregnant women to have hypoglycemia symptoms.
All pregnant women with gestational diabetes will suffer from hypoglycemia because they are afraid that the increase in blood sugar will affect their own health and the health of the fetus. They will strictly control their sugar intake. If they take too little sugar, hypoglycemia may occur. In addition, pregnant women use insulin injection to control blood sugar. If they do not pay attention to the use of excessive insulin, it may lead to too fast and too low blood sugar, resulting in hypoglycemia.
Adjusting dietary structure is an important means of controlling high blood sugar. Pregnant women should mainly adopt a low sugar diet, control the intake of sugar and carbohydrates, and eat small amounts of meals. They can also eat more fresh vegetables and fruits because most vegetables and fruits are low sugar foods. Vegetables include cabbage, cucumber, green vegetables, celery, fruits include dragon fruit, grapefruit, apple, cherry, etc. Protein rich foods such as meat, fish, seafood, and eggs can also be eaten more.
