In recent years, the incidence of hyperglycemia during pregnancy (gestational diabetes mellitus, GDM) has increased year by year, becoming an important issue threatening the health of maternal and infants. Latest research shows that through scientific diet management and moderate exercise, the risk of neurodevelopment caused by hyperglycemia during pregnancy can be reduced by 70%. This article will combine popular topics and authoritative data across the network for the past 10 days to provide a practical intervention guide for pregnant mothers.
High blood sugar during pregnancy will not only increase the risk of pregnant women suffering from pregnancy hypertension and premature birth, but may also affect the fetal neurodevelopment. The following are the latest research data:
| Risk Type | Incidence (not intervened) | Incidence (after intervention) |
|---|---|---|
| Fetal neurodevelopment abnormalities | 15% | 4.5% (70% reduction) |
| Huge baby (birth weight > 4kg) | 25% | 10% |
| Pregnant women with high blood pressure | 12% | 6% |
Diet is the core of controlling hyperglycemia during pregnancy. The following are the dietary principles and specific food choices recommended by experts:
| Food Categories | Recommended intake | Things to note |
|---|---|---|
| Whole grain | 50-100g per day | Replace refined rice noodles, such as oats and brown rice |
| High-quality protein | 80-100g per day | Fish, lean meat, soy products |
| Low GI Vegetables | 300-500g per day | Spinach, broccoli, cucumber, etc. |
| fruit | 200-300g per day | Choose low-sugar fruits such as apples and strawberries |

Case 2:@Doudou Mommy used mixed grain rice instead of white rice, and combined with blood sugar monitoring, the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the late pregnancy was stable at 5.1%.
