I believe that the most painful thing you have experienced during pregnancy is sugar control. Many pregnant mothers who are diagnosed with gestational diabetes will be very anxious and don’t know how to control it. Even if their blood sugar is controlled, it is still abnormal. So I would like to share these 8 sugar control skills with you. , to help everyone successfully control blood sugar.
1: Separate dry and wet food
That is, drink soup and eat separately, and give up all kinds of porridge such as white porridge. Porridge is a gelatinized staple food that raises blood sugar very quickly. It is recommended to only drink vegetable soup, such as seaweed and egg drop soup . Remember not to thicken the soup!
2: Correct dining order
If there is soup, please drink it 10 minutes before eating, and then eat the staple food. The staple food should also pay attention to the order: three bites of vegetables + one bite of meat + one bite of staple food. Because the pancreatic islet function of the pregnant sugar mother is damaged, she needs to eat some vegetables first to cushion her. When it comes to cooking vegetables, it’s best to stir-fry them quickly!
3: Control the amount of staple food
Use coarse grains and sugar in staple foods. Mom, please give up refined staple foods such as white rice, white flour steamed buns and noodles, and add a certain proportion of whole grains instead. For example, add , brown rice, and other whole grains to rice in a ratio of 2:1:1; the same goes for steamed buns and noodles.
4: Eat small meals frequently, and do not suppress hunger.
Just eat seven to eight percent full at each meal. For snacks between meals, the best snack foods are: sugar-free yogurt, nuts and pure milk. If you are hungry before going to bed, be sure not to go to bed hungry. Eat a snack, otherwise it will cause hypoglycemia in the middle of the night and fasting blood sugar to spike the next day!
5: Control the amount of fruit and only eat low-sugar fruits
For pregnant women with normal blood sugar, fruits cannot be eaten open. For sugary mothers, it is more important to pay attention to the total amount of fruit per day, which is the size of a medium apple. Of course, small tomatoes and cucumbers can be eaten freely.
6: Less oil and less salt
Please give up braised pork or bacon!
7: Exercise after meals
Because your own pancreatic islet function is damaged, you need to rely on exercise to consume it. Exercise for 30 minutes to 1 hour after meals. Do appropriate exercise according to your own situation. Just feel a little sweaty.
8: Go to bed early and get up early
On the one hand, staying up late can cause hormone confusion and is not conducive to blood sugar control. On the other hand, after staying up late and being unable to get up in the morning, you will be too late to have breakfast or have breakfast too late, which will lead to confusion in blood sugar monitoring time points.
