2. Grapefruit: Grapefruit has a low sugar content and is rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber, making it suitable for pregnant women with elevated blood sugar.
3. Kiwifruit: Kiwifruit contains abundant vitamins and has a low sugar content, effectively supplying necessary vitamins without causing a sharp increase in blood glucose.
