Can I eat cantaloupe at 33 weeks of pregnancy if my blood sugar is high?
Disease description:
I am 33 weeks pregnant, and during my recent checkup, my doctor told me that my blood sugar level is a bit high. Today my husband bought some muskmelons, and I would like to know whether it's okay for me to eat muskmelon at 33 weeks of pregnancy with high blood sugar.

Pregnant women with high blood sugar at 33 weeks of gestation should be cautious about consuming melons. Although melons are nutritious and contain vitamins and minerals, they have relatively high sugar content, which may further elevate blood glucose levels after consumption, increasing the difficulty of glycemic control and potentially triggering acute complications of diabetes. If a pregnant woman's blood sugar is relatively well-controlled, she may consume melons in moderation under the guidance of a doctor or nutritionist, but must strictly limit the amount consumed and closely monitor changes in blood glucose. To ensure the health of both mother and baby, pregnant women with high blood sugar should pay closer attention to their diet, avoid excessive intake of high-sugar foods, and choose foods low in sugar and rich in dietary fiber, such as celery and cucumber, whenever possible. At the same time, pregnant women should maintain a balanced diet and engage in appropriate physical activity to help maintain stable blood sugar levels. If any concerns or discomfort arise, medical advice should be sought promptly from a healthcare professional.
