Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Pregnant women with high blood sugar can eat nectarines in moderation. Those with gestational diabetes should avoid foods with a high glycemic index in their daily diet. Nectarines have a sugar content of approximately 13%, which is at a moderate level, and they are rich in dietary fiber, helping to prevent rapid post-meal blood sugar spikes. Therefore, pregnant women with gestational diabetes can consume nectarines when their blood glucose levels are well controlled, but the intake amount must be limited.
