Can I eat osmanthus-stuffed glutinous rice cake if I have high blood sugar during pregnancy?
Disease description:
I am currently five months pregnant, and this period is when I have a good appetite, so I often eat some snacks. However, I'm constantly worried about developing high blood sugar. May I ask, can I consume Osmanthus Regulating Head Paste if I have high blood sugar during pregnancy?

Pregnant women with high blood sugar should avoid eating osmanthus glutinous rice cake (Guīhuā Tiáotóugāo). This snack is primarily made from glutinous rice and typically includes ingredients such as red bean paste, white sugar, and sweetened osmanthus during preparation, resulting in a high sugar content. Consuming too much of it may lead to elevated blood glucose levels. Pregnant women with high blood sugar are advised to strictly avoid foods high in sugar, as they are detrimental to blood sugar control.
