Individuals with high blood sugar can generally consume papaya stewed with silver ear fungus, but portion sizes should be moderate, and sugar and salt should be added sparingly. Additionally, meal intervals should be consistent. Papaya contains very low natural sugar content and is rich in vitamins; moderate consumption can help replenish energy and hydration, support stable blood glucose levels, and help prevent hypoglycemia. However, a single serving should not exceed 200 g.
