Can I eat clams soup if I have high blood sugar during pregnancy?
Disease description:
I've been pregnant for over three months, and these days I've been craving clams soup. However, my blood sugar levels have often been high. Is it okay for me to have clams soup during pregnancy if I have high blood sugar?

Pregnant women with high blood sugar levels can consume clams soup in moderation. Clams soup is rich in nutrients such as protein, calcium, iron, and vitamins, and has a low glycemic index. Moderate consumption generally does not cause significant fluctuations in blood sugar levels. However, pregnant women should pay attention to the following points when consuming clams soup:
1. **Moderate consumption**: Although clams soup is nutritious, excessive consumption may increase the digestive burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to symptoms such as indigestion. Therefore, pregnant women should consume it in moderation and avoid overeating.
2. **Ensure thorough cooking**: Clams are a type of seafood and must be fully cooked before consumption to kill any potential parasites and bacteria, thus preventing parasitic infections or food poisoning.
3. **Monitor blood sugar levels**: After consuming clams soup, pregnant women should closely monitor their blood sugar changes to understand how the food affects their blood glucose levels.
