Can I eat mangoes if my postprandial blood sugar is high during pregnancy?
Disease description:
After finishing breakfast this morning, I checked my blood sugar and found it a bit high. Can I eat mangoes under such circumstances?

Pregnant women with high postprandial blood glucose levels are not advised to eat mangoes. Although mangoes are rich in various nutrients such as dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, and minerals, they have a relatively high sugar content and a glycemic index ranging from 50 to 55. Consuming mangoes can easily cause an increase in blood glucose levels and lead to fluctuations in blood sugar, which is not conducive to blood glucose control. For pregnant women with high postprandial blood glucose levels, it is advisable to avoid fruits with a high glycemic index and instead choose fruits with low sugar content and a low glycemic index, such as apples, pears, peaches, strawberries, and cherries, while also controlling the amount consumed. At the same time, pregnant women should maintain a diverse and balanced diet, engage in appropriate physical activity, and regularly monitor their blood glucose levels to ensure the health of both mother and baby.
