Pregnant women with high blood glucose levels may consume yellow catfish (Tachysurus fulvidraco). However, consumption should be moderate, as it helps replenish essential nutrients and enhances immunity. It may also effectively support fetal growth and development. Avoid or limit spicy and irritating foods, adopt healthy lifestyle habits, and maintain optimal blood glucose control. Monitor your specific recovery progress closely and actively cooperate with prescribed pharmacological treatments and supportive care.
