Can pregnant women in their late trimester with high blood sugar eat pigeon meat?
Disease description:
I am currently in the late stage of pregnancy. My blood sugar was a bit high during the prenatal checkup two days ago. Today my husband cooked some pigeon meat for me to eat. I would like to know if it is okay for someone with high blood sugar in late pregnancy to eat pigeon meat.

For pregnant women in their third trimester with high blood sugar levels, moderate consumption of pigeon meat is acceptable, but the following points should be noted:
1. Nutritional value: Pigeon meat is rich in protein, various vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, iron, and copper, which can provide essential nutritional support for pregnant women and help fetal growth and development.
2. Impact on blood sugar: Pigeon meat itself does not directly raise blood sugar levels. However, pregnant women should pay attention to cooking methods and avoid adding excessive sugar or high-starch seasonings, which may affect blood glucose levels.
3. Principle of moderate consumption: Although pigeon meat is nutritious, pregnant women in their third trimester should control total intake to avoid overconsumption, which may lead to excessive nutrition or interfere with the digestion and absorption of other foods.
4. Individual differences: Each pregnant woman's physical condition and medical situation are different. It is recommended to consult a doctor or nutritionist before consumption and develop a reasonable dietary plan based on individual circumstances.
