Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Pregnant women with high blood sugar can generally consume soy sauce and oyster sauce, as these are savory seasonings that do not contain sugar and therefore will not affect blood glucose levels. However, they should be used in moderation—excessive amounts should be avoided, as both soy sauce and oyster sauce contain numerous additives; overconsumption may adversely affect the developing fetus.
