What food to avoid with gestational diabetes?

Gestational diabetes is the appearance of higher-than-expected blood sugars during pregnancy. Complications of gestational diabetes can be prevented by carefully controlling your blood sugar and by being monitored by an obstetrician throughout your pregnancy. In general, a pregnant woman’s diet should ensure adequate calories to achieve appropriate weight gain and provide sufficient amounts of protein and necessary micronutrients. It’s best to severely limit simple sugars, focusing more on whole grains, vegetables and fruits.
