In the late stages of pregnancy, when blood sugar levels are high, pregnant women can choose some low-sugar, high-fiber fruits as healthy snacks. For example, strawberries, blueberries, kiwifruit, and cherries are good options. These fruits are not only rich in vitamin C, folic acid, and antioxidants, which benefit both maternal and fetal health, but also relatively low in sugar, helping to control blood glucose levels. In addition, apples and pears are also good choices, as they contain abundant dietary fiber that can slow down sugar absorption and stabilize blood glucose levels. Pregnant women should still pay attention to portion control and avoid eating too much at one time. It is also recommended to regularly monitor blood glucose levels and adjust the diet plan according to the advice of a doctor or nutritionist. If there are any concerns or discomfort, it is advisable to promptly consult a doctor or nutritionist.
