Pregnant mothers tend to eat a lot of nutrients and pay attention to whether they have sufficient nutrition in order to provide their children with enough nutrition. They often overlook the problem of overnutrition, and high blood sugar is a common example. High blood sugar, also known as one of the "three highs", so what should pregnant women eat for high blood sugar?
The purpose is to control the increase of blood sugar in pregnant women and ensure the normal development of the fetus. Polysaccharides such as rice and wheat should be the main ingredients, while pure sugar products such as honey, syrup, maltose, and desserts with high sugar content should be strictly restricted. In cereal staple foods, try to choose varieties with low glycemic index, such as oatmeal, corn flour, buckwheat flour, etc. The principles of dietary therapy are:
1. Eat more grains and cereals: since grains and cereals are originally low calorie foods, coupled with the slow decomposition of these coarse grains in quantity, they will not cause large fluctuations in blood sugar, and are very suitable for patients with high blood sugar or diabetes.
2. It is necessary to eat small meals frequently: As most people are in a state of high blood sugar within 2 hours after meals, postprandial blood sugar is an important risk factor for patients with high blood sugar. Therefore, eating small meals frequently is the key to avoiding postprandial blood sugar spikes.
3. Supplement dietary fiber: Fiber rich foods can slow down the breakdown and absorption of carbohydrates, which is beneficial for blood sugar balance. In addition, diabetes experts pointed out that what to do with hyperglycemia is not only to control the diet method, but also to learn to measure the normal value of blood sugar by oneself, and keep the fasting blood sugar at 3.9-6.1 mmol.
