Sugar tolerant diet list for pregnant women

Regarding the issue of what diet should be matched for pregnant women with impaired glucose tolerance, the first thing we need to deal with is to understand what impaired glucose tolerance is and what issues need to be paid attention to, and then make effective adjustments and medical care in diet based on the specific situation. If pregnant women don’t understand, they can refer to the following introduction.

How to eat for pregnant women with impaired glucose tolerance

Impaired glucose tolerance means that blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but do not meet the criteria for diagnosed diabetes. If the condition is not very serious, you should cooperate with treatment and diet control to maintain a good attitude. So the following is how to carry out medical care from the perspective of diet:

1. Pregnant women should mainly control the intake of regular meals. The daily regular meals should not exceed 2 taels. In addition, fresh fruits with low sugar content should be eaten, such as apples, kiwis, tomatoes, etc.

2. For controversial foods such as winter melon, it is best to eat less, because everyone's body system is different, eating too much is not conducive to blood sugar control.

3. Peanut kernels are a high-calorie and high-fat food. It is not appropriate to take more than 10 peanut kernels per day.

4. Fresh pomelo meat can be used as an ideal food for diabetics because it contains ingredients similar to insulin glargine.

Common problems in sugar screening

1. Eat normally 3 days before the experiment

Three days before the experiment, the dietary carbohydrate intake (i.e. rice and pasta) should not be less than 150 grams. If the experimenters intentionally reduce the amount of regular meals, the test results will be inaccurate, resulting in an incorrect diagnosis.

2. Avoid excessive exercise and maintain a stable mood

Normal physical activity is required 3 days before the experiment. However, excessive exercise before the experiment can excite the central nervous system and increase blood sugar. Infection, trauma, and strong fluctuations in mood can excite the central nervous system and affect the results of the glucose tolerance test.

3. Be sure to eat on an empty stomach

When doing sugar screening, pregnant mothers must fast for 8 to 14 hours to truly reflect their blood sugar levels. For example, if you are making red grape sugar screening at 8 o'clock in the morning, it is best not to eat after 10 o'clock the night before. You can drink water, but not tea or coffee. The first fasting blood sample is used to check the sugar level in the blood, which is called the baseline test.

4. No meals are allowed during the experiment

During the experiment, you are not allowed to smoke, drink water or eat. You can walk a little, but you need to avoid morning exercise. Also, pregnant mothers do not need to be anxious or have emotional fluctuations due to repeated blood draws, and should do their best to cooperate with medical staff to draw blood each time.

5. Special circumstances

If symptoms such as pale face, nausea, vomiting, or fainting occur during the inspection period, the experiment should be terminated. If the above symptoms occur 3-4 hours after taking sugar, it should be considered as reactive hypoglycemia. Blood should be drawn immediately to measure blood sugar and the patient should be allowed to eat.

In the sugar screening experiment, the statistical analysis of each standard value is also the standard value obtained after comprehensive analysis of many samples. The test results of sugar screening are biased. Due to various factors such as individual differences or technical problems, this deviation is difficult to prevent.
