What to eat after gestational diabetes
Patients with gestational diabetes should also pay attention to diet management after childbirth, avoiding overly greasy foods. Do not consume high-fat or high-sugar foods, and avoid porridge. A light diet is recommended, including frequent consumption of fresh fruits, vegetables, and high-quality proteins. You can eat up to one pound of vegetables a day, primarily green leafy vegetables. For fruits, it's suggested to choose those with a low glycemic index and low sugar content, such as apples, pears, cherries, strawberries, grapefruits, oranges, etc. Protein intake can also be appropriately increased by consuming more lean meats, fish, shrimp, eggs, and drinking more milk, while regularly monitoring blood glucose levels. Most patients with gestational diabetes experience a decrease in blood glucose levels after childbirth, and dietary adjustments can be made based on blood glucose readings.
