Question

Can pregnant diabetic patients eat dumplings?

Answer

It is recommended to consume vegetarian dumplings filled with West lily and cabbage. Opt for vegetables with a low glycemic index, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, green leafy vegetables, and celery. For fruits, choose from grapefruit, kiwi, strawberries, and green apples. For protein sources, choose lean meat, milk, and fish for high-quality proteins. For staple foods, it’s best to choose whole grains such as corn flour, buckwheat noodles, and oat noodles to make buns. However, be mindful of portion sizes. It is suggested that you visit the nutrition center of a diabetic specialty hospital for a personalized dietary plan by a nutritionist doctor to facilitate precise evaluation of your condition and standardized treatment.
