What should pregnant women do if their glucose level is high?

If pregnant women do not pay attention to good diet and health care during their daily conditioning period, it is easy to cause increased glucose in the body, which may induce gestational diabetes. Therefore, it is very important to lower blood sugar in time and keep blood sugar stable. It mainly depends on exercise therapy and diet therapy. Calorie intake should be controlled in the diet, and moderate exercise should be performed to the best of one's ability.

1. Diet therapy:

For glucose treatment in pregnant women, it is necessary to reasonably control the total calorie intake and maintain a diet of small and frequent meals. In order to maintain stable blood sugar levels and avoid ketoacidosis, meal distribution is very important. You need to pay attention to strictly control the monosaccharides that are easily absorbed by the body, and try to choose staple foods with higher fiber content. Pregnant women should consume more high-fiber foods within the acceptable range, such as replacing white rice with brown rice or whole-grain rice, and increasing the intake of vegetables and fresh fruits, but do not drink fruit juice or eat unlimited amounts of fruit. Control the intake of fatty foods. Fat intake should be less than 1 gram per kilogram of body weight per day, and the intake of saturated fatty acids should also be controlled.

2. Exercise therapy:

It is important to exercise properly, lose weight and get rid of the pot belly. Keep exercising at least 5 times a week, such as brisk walking, jogging, playing gateball, Tai Chi, Tai Chi sword, cycling, climbing stairs, climbing hills, etc. You need to be in a good mood, because when people experience anxiety, sorrow, anger, and tension, their blood sugar level may rise. If your living environment is stable, you are in a good mood and smile often, your blood sugar will drop.

3. Notes

Diet therapy and exercise therapy are commonly used in the treatment of diabetes. In addition, in order to help achieve blood sugar stability as quickly as possible, drug-assisted treatment is also needed. Pregnant women still need to rely on insulin injections to control blood sugar. It is recommended that pregnant women who have the conditions can ask a nutritionist to develop a nutrition plan for them to choose from.
