Question
Can postpartum women with gestational diabetes drink sweet glutinous rice wine?
Answer
Whether postpartum women with gestational diabetes can drink sweet glutinous rice wine depends on their postpartum blood sugar status. It is recommended to consult an endocrinologist, rest well, and increase the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber to slow down blood sugar absorption. Additionally, avoid eating overly greasy and spicy foods, practice eating in small, frequent meals, engage in moderate exercise to burn excess blood sugar, quit smoking and drinking, and regularly check blood sugar levels. If any problems arise, seek medical attention immediately.
