Question
Can pregnant diabetics eat watermelons?
Answer
Pregnant diabetics should not eat watermelons. During pregnancy, if there is a decrease in glucose tolerance to varying degrees or significant diabetes, whether or not insulin is required or only dietary treatment is carried out, and regardless of whether this condition persists after delivery, it can be considered gestational diabetes. Insulin treatment may be needed during pregnancy. Oral hypoglycemic drugs and hyperglycemia toxicity may cause fetal malformation or miscarriage. It is recommended that you go to a diabetic specialty hospital for further detailed examination to provide you with an accurate evaluation of your condition and individualized treatment based on standardized care. Good control of blood sugar is essential to ensure the healthy growth of the baby. Strict dietary control and appropriate exercise are very important.
