summary

Usually the mother's pancreas is able to produce enough insulin to deal with islet resistance. But if the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin, blood sugar will rise, causing diabetes. That is to say, pregnant women with gestational diabetes should not be afraid. They can control their blood sugar well through diet. Now let's share the knowledge about whether they can eat cold potatoes for gestational diabetes.

Can gestational diabetes eat sweet potato

First: gestational diabetes can not eat sweet potato. The so-called "sugar free food" in the market is actually "sugar free food". The sweetness is the taste of sweetener, not sugar, but the original lactose in grains, bean paste and milk used in food production can still be converted into glucose.

Second: when the blood sugar is not well controlled, don't eat fruit temporarily. When the blood sugar reaches the standard, try to eat fruit again. That is to say, eat fruit when the blood sugar is the lowest between meals. Measure the blood sugar from half an hour to 1 hour and 2 hours after eating. The blood sugar is not high.

Third, we should choose the fruit with relatively low sugar content and slow speed of raising blood sugar. Green plum, watermelon, orange, lemon, grape, kiwi and strawberry with sugar content less than 10 grams per 100 grams can be used by diabetics.

According to the dietary structure of Chinese people, carbohydrate accounts for 55% - 60% of heat energy, fat 25% - 30% and protein 15% - 20%. For example, a 65 year old diabetic with a height of 168 cm and a weight of 85 kg should be given 1600-2000 kcal of heat per day according to the table. Among them, carbohydrates should account for 1000-1200 kcal, equivalent to 300-400 g of rice or flour; fat should account for about 500 kcal, equivalent to 50-60 g of fat; protein should account for about 350 kcal, equivalent to 80 g of protein. According to the above situation, in addition to 300-400 grams of staple food per day, another 500 grams of milk, 100 grams of lean meat or fish, 200 grams of bean products can meet their protein and fat needs.
