What to do if the 2-hour glucose tolerance is too high

Pregnant women will have dry skin when they have high blood sugar. This is mainly due to genetics, coupled with an unbalanced and unreasonable diet. Therefore, when pregnant women have high blood sugar, their diet should mainly be sugar-free, eat more whole grains, try not to eat steamed bread or rice, and eat foods such as whole grains instead, because whole grains do not contain sugar.

Pregnant women with high blood sugar levels will experience symptoms such as dry skin, nausea, and poor spirits, which are mainly caused by genetics and unreasonable diet during pregnancy;

It is best to eat 3 large meals and 3 small meals; eat less high-sugar fruits; 400-500 grams of vegetables per day, of which no less than 50% are colored vegetables, and legumes

Sugar-free soy milk, sugar-free pure milk, multi-grain bread (corn flour or buckwheat flour), low-sugar fruits (grapefruit, kiwi, cherry tomatoes, apples, peaches, cucumbers)

Breakfast: It is recommended to drink some sugar-free soy milk or milk. Remember, it must be sugar-free. I make soy milk using a soy milk maker that I bought myself, and I buy sugar-free pure milk, either Yili or Mengniu is fine. Nutritional milk for pregnant women is not recommended as it usually contains sugar.

Then a small multi-grain bun, which can be made of corn flour or buckwheat flour, and two slices of whole wheat bread.

200-300 grams of staple food each time is enough.

Dietary principles for pregnant women with diabetes: eat small meals frequently and have snacks after meals.

Since we eat less, we get hungry easily.

Therefore, you can have an appropriate meal two hours after a meal.

Snacks should also be small: you can eat some fruit with soda crackers. Fruits must be low in sugar, such as grapefruit, kiwi, cherry tomatoes, apples, and peaches. You can also eat some cucumbers. Because my diabetes is quite serious, the fruits I ate the most during pregnancy were tomatoes and cucumbers.

Snacks can be accompanied by biscuits and fruit. Three cookies are enough.

Main meal: multi-grain rice. It is recommended to add some millet and black rice when cooking rice. Because the sugar content in white rice flour is very high, it is best to eat multi-grain rice as the staple food.

Dishes: Pay attention to the principle of reasonable combination. Green vegetables + protein-rich meat. The meat I mainly eat is shrimp, lean meat, and fish, which are rich in protein. Every time I eat shrimps, I only eat about 10. I believe in eating in small amounts and in a reasonable manner. As for green vegetables, don’t eat potatoes and eggplants, as some of them are high in starch and will also produce sugar in the body. It is best to eat green vegetables and tomatoes.

Continue to have a snack two hours after the main meal. You can add snacks in different ways, and still follow the principle of fruits + snacks.

Dinner: Basically the same as lunch.

Then have a snack before going to bed, before 10 o'clock, because if you can't eat for more than 8 hours after going to bed, if you don't eat for a long time, pregnant women with diabetes will easily have elevated urine ketones, which is toxic to the child. Therefore, you must have a snack before going to bed. It is recommended to eat fruit and a small amount of soda crackers.

In addition to paying attention to diet, taking a walk after meals is also a must for gestational diabetes.
