Can pregnant women with high blood sugar eat apples and blueberries?
Disease description:
I am currently 24 weeks pregnant, and during my recent prenatal checkup, I found out that my blood sugar levels were a bit high. Therefore, I would like to know whether it's okay to eat apples and blueberries during pregnancy when blood sugar is elevated.

Pregnant women with high blood sugar can consume apples and blueberries in moderation. Apples are rich in dietary fiber and water, which can delay gastric emptying and help control post-meal blood sugar spikes. Additionally, the chromium in apples promotes insulin synthesis and secretion. Blueberries, being low in calories and high in fiber, contain natural antioxidants that help stabilize blood glucose levels. Moderate consumption of these two fruits can provide essential nutrients for pregnant women and assist in lowering blood sugar levels. However, due to their natural sugar content, pregnant women should still pay attention to portion control to avoid excessive intake that may cause blood sugar fluctuations. At the same time, pregnant women should regularly monitor their blood sugar levels and make dietary adjustments under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
