Please connect with your doctor all the time to discuss things if you do not know anything.  

 Here are some diet tips for diabetes pregnant women; 

1. Eat 3 meals and 2 snacks per day 

              A healthy diet is also important in pregnancy.  you can eat a balanced diet without sugar. Eat only in small portions. After a meal walking for 2 to 3 minutes is good for you. 

2.One small cup of milk 

               Milk is good for health because it has a source of calcium. Only use one small cup of milk at one time. If you increase the quantity of milk, it is the cause of the increase in blood sugar. 

3.A small portion of fruits at a one time 

                 You can eat 1 cup of mixed fruit at one time. Quantity matters in your case you cannot eat as much as you want, because fruits have natural sugar and sugar is not good for your health. 

4.Starchy food  

                 You can use starchy food but with limits. A reasonable serving size is about 1 cup of cooked rice, grains, or two pieces of bread, per meal. 

   5. Eat more fiber  

                  You can try whole-grain bread, brown rice, whole oats, barley, wild rice, and all the other whole grains food. Including split peas, lentils, and any type of beans. This type of food is high in fiber and helps to keep your blood sugar level lower than when you eat refined grains such as white bread or white rice. 

  6. breakfast is necessary 

                Do not skip your breakfast, whole grain and protein are best if you use fruits. 

   Diabetes is difficult to control in the morning because that is when pregnancy hormones are very strong. 

 7. strictly avoid sweet dishes 

               Cake, cookies, ice cream, and candies full of sugar you cannot eat these things because they are low in nutrition and high in sugar. 

   8. avoid sugar 

              Do not add any type of your sugar to your food like honey, dates syrup, or any syrup. These things quickly increase the sugar level in your blood.  

   9. Don’t use fruit juice and sugar drinks 

                The juice raises your sugar level very quickly because it is liquid and it digests very fast. Avoid sodas and normal soft drinks. Use sugar-free drinks or diet drinks. 

    10.  Artificial sweetener is safe in your pregnancy 

            If you want to add sugar to your drinks, use an artificial sweetener like stevia and those type of others you find on market.
