Pregnant mothers consult for gestational diabetes in the outpatient clinic of Changsha Parknshop Maria Maternity Hospital.
After the pregnancy checkup, she became a "sugar mother", but she just kept her mouth shut, and she really didn't touch desserts and milk tea. The test results are still exceeded, why is that? Liu Huayu, a doctor at Changsha Parknshop Maria Maternity Hospital, said that in fact, this "sugar" not only refers to the candy, white sugar, brown sugar, etc., but also contains a variety of digestible carbohydrates, including sweet-tasting sugar and non-sweet-tasting sugar.
If you eat less candy, but fruits with high sugar content and foods with high starch content have no restrictions, and if sugar metabolism is reduced during pregnancy, it is easy to "become a sugar mother".
There are two types of diabetes during pregnancy, one is diabetes before pregnancy, which is called diabetes mellitus with pregnancy; The other type of diabetes mellitus is that has normal glucose metabolism before pregnancy, or has underlying impaired glucose tolerance, but is not developed or discovered during pregnancy, which is called "gestational diabetes".
Diabetes itself is not terrible, but the complications caused by it cannot be ignored, such as polyhydramnios, premature birth, macrosomia, gestational hypertension and so on. But the progression of diabetes to complications is a slow progression process. Therefore, once the blood sugar is found to be too high, on the one hand, mothers can "keep their mouths shut and open their legs" to change their unhealthy lifestyles; On the other hand, it is also possible to intervene as soon as possible by regularly checking blood sugar, etc.
So how can you prevent gestational diabetes? The basic principle is a low-sugar, low-fat, high-protein, high-fiber diet, plus eating smaller, more frequent meals. It can reduce the intake of rice and fine noodles as staple foods, and replace them with coarse grains such as oatmeal and bitter buckwheat noodles with high dietary fiber, as well as fresh vegetables and algae foods. On the other hand, it is appropriate to exercise, and the best exercise time is after three meals, and go out for a walk half an hour after eating. (Correspondent Liu Yang).
