Can I drink millet and mung bean porridge if my blood sugar is well controlled?
Generally, patients with good blood sugar control can consume millet and mung bean porridge, but the intake should be controlled. The detailed explanation is as follows:
Millet and mung bean porridge is rich in dietary fiber, which helps slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, thereby controlling the rate of blood sugar increase. At the same time, millet and mung bean porridge has a low glycemic index, so moderate consumption generally does not cause abnormal fluctuations in blood sugar. In addition, this porridge contains various nutrients such as amino acids, carbohydrates, and fats, which can provide essential nutrients for diabetic patients. Therefore, when blood sugar is stable, moderate intake of millet and mung bean porridge can meet patients' nutritional needs while avoiding drastic fluctuations in blood sugar levels.
For diabetic patients whose blood sugar is well controlled, it is acceptable to moderately consume some foods that are usually restricted, such as millet and mung bean porridge. However, excessive consumption may still lead to elevated blood sugar. Therefore, patients should strictly control the amount of millet and mung bean porridge they consume and closely monitor their blood sugar levels.
Diabetic patients should continue to follow the dietary principles of low salt, low fat, and low sugar, maintaining a balanced diet and engaging in appropriate physical activity to keep blood sugar levels stable.
