Can pregnant women with high blood sugar and anemia eat pig's blood?
Disease description:
I am a pregnant woman with high blood sugar and anemia. I heard that eating pig's blood can help replenish iron. May I ask if it is suitable for a pregnant woman with high blood sugar and anemia to eat pig's blood?

Pregnant women with high blood sugar and anemia can consume pig's blood in moderation. Pig's blood is rich in nutrients such as protein, iron, and zinc. The iron present in pig's blood is heme iron, which is easily absorbed by the human body and plays a positive role in improving symptoms of anemia. At the same time, pig's blood does not contain high levels of sugar, and moderate consumption by pregnant women will not lead to excessive sugar intake or significant increases in blood glucose levels. It is recommended that pregnant women limit their daily intake of pig's blood to about 80 grams (approximately 3 pieces) and ensure that the pig's blood is thoroughly cooked before consumption to avoid potential risks associated with eating it raw. In addition, pregnant women should maintain a balanced diet and consume appropriate amounts of other iron-rich foods such as lean meat, eggs, spinach, and foods rich in vitamin C to promote iron absorption and utilization. Please note that before consuming any food, pregnant women should consult with their doctor or a nutritionist to ensure their diet is safe and appropriate.
