Question
Can pregnant diabetic patients eat peanuts?
Answer
Peanuts have a high glycemic index and are generally not recommended for diabetic patients. It is suggested to consume a balanced intake of grains, meats, eggs, dairy products, vegetables, and fruits under the premise of controlling total calorie intake to obtain comprehensive nutrition. It is recommended to eat low glycemic index vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, green leafy vegetables, celery, and fruits like grapefruits, kiwis, strawberries, and green apples. Choose high-quality proteins such as lean meats, milk, and fish, and opt for coarse grain breads made from corn flour, wheat bran flour, and oat flour. Please note the appropriate intake amount, and wish you a healthy pregnancy.
