Disease description:
I'm pregnant and went for a checkup today, where they mentioned I have high blood sugar. Can pregnant women with high blood sugar eat Ejiao (donkey-hide gelatin) and white pigeon?

Pregnant women with high blood sugar can consume Ejiao (donkey-hide gelatin), but should do so in moderation and avoid consuming it together with white pigeon, which has a high sugar content. Ejiao itself has functions such as nourishing the blood, stopping bleeding, and moisturizing the yin. Generally, moderate consumption by pregnant women will not directly affect blood sugar levels. However, attention should be paid to controlling the amount consumed, as excessive intake may cause blood sugar fluctuations. As an ingredient, white pigeon has a high sugar content, which may increase blood sugar levels, posing certain risks to both the pregnant woman and the fetus. Therefore, for pregnant women with high blood sugar, it is recommended to avoid consuming white pigeon or choose other low-sugar, high-protein alternatives. At the same time, pregnant women should maintain a balanced diet, opting more often for low-sugar, high-protein foods such as legumes, eggs, and fish, to help maintain stable blood sugar levels and support the healthy development of the fetus. If there are any concerns or special dietary needs, it is advisable to consult a professional doctor or nutritionist for guidance.
