Can pregnant women with high blood sugar eat carrots stir-fried with meat?
Disease description:
A few days ago, during a prenatal checkup at the hospital, I was found to have slightly elevated blood sugar levels. Today, my mom made carrot stir-fried with meat. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to eat it. Can pregnant women with high blood sugar consume carrot stir-fried with meat?

Pregnant women with high blood sugar can consume an appropriate amount of carrot stir-fried with meat, but should pay attention to total calorie intake and combine it with other low-sugar, high-fiber foods to help maintain stable blood sugar levels and promote a healthy pregnancy. Carrot stir-fried with meat is a nutritious and relatively suitable option. Carrots are rich in dietary fiber, beta-carotene, and various vitamins, which are beneficial for both the pregnant woman and the developing fetus, and they have a low glycemic index, which helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Meat, on the other hand, serves as an important source of high-quality protein, essential for the mother's health and fetal development. When cooking, be mindful of oil usage to avoid excessive greasiness, and consume in moderation to maintain a balanced and diverse diet.
