The number of elderly mothers over 35 years old is increasing, the incidence of gestational diabetes is increasing year by year, and many pregnant mothers have unknowingly become "sugar mothers" with high blood sugar. How to eat scientifically for gestational diabetes**? The original popular science micro-film "Sweet Burden" by teachers and students of Shanghai Health Medical College uses healthy food as a bridge to popularize the causes, diagnosis, common misunderstandings and correct healthy diet intervention of gestational diabetes.
The movie tells the story of Gan Ruyi, a second-child mother of a food blogger, who was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, from screening, diagnosis to nutrition and exercise intervention, and the couple worked together to break through. The film teaches sugar mothers to control blood sugar through the "trilogy" of dietitians - ensure a balanced diet, adequate intake of staple foods, and choose low-GI foods such as whole grains (such as brown rice, oats, quinoa), mixed legumes (such as red beans, mung beans), and potatoes (such as sweet potatoes, yams, pumpkins and other root vegetables); Pregnant women should consume 300 kcal more total energy in the second trimester than before pregnancy, and should control their weight; Eat a regular and regular diet that starts with vegetables, protein-rich foods, and staple foods to slow the rise in blood sugar.
The film also explains the question of "can sugar moms eat 0-calorie sugar snacks". Zero sugar does not mean that there is no sugar at all, it is just that the sucrose content is low, and other polysaccharides are still present, so there is still some effect on blood sugar levels. When shopping for snacks, "sugar mothers" need to pay attention to the nutrition facts label. Some cakes or cookies, although advertised as low in sugar, are still carbohydrates, and excessive intake can cause blood sugar to rise. Therefore, pregnant women should eat mainly meals, and only eat a small amount of low-sugar or zero-sugar snacks when it is difficult to resist**.
The micro-film is guided by the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission and produced by Shanghai Health Medical College. Ge Sheng, Director of the Department of Nutrition of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, Sun Wenguang, Director of the Department of Maternal and Infant Nutrition, and Professor Song Jun of Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention served as scientific advisors, and Associate Professor Li Tingting of Shanghai Health Medical College served as the chief planner of the project. In order to make the recipe not just a cold text, the popular science team integrates the text of the recipe production and the complete scientific recipe, shows the new cooking modes in various forms such as hot pot, air fryer, electric baking pan, etc., and promotes the gradual transformation of the public from "eating full" and "eating well" to "eating healthy" through social publicity.
