In general, patients with high blood glucose can consume preserved duck eggs (century eggs), but intake should be moderated. Century eggs contain protein, cholesterol, and other nutrients, and are relatively easy to digest. If a patient’s blood glucose is well-controlled, moderate consumption of century eggs is acceptable and may help supplement protein and cholesterol. However, for patients with poor glycemic control, only the egg white portion may be consumed in moderation, while the yolk should be limited to avoid excessive cholesterol intake, which could adversely affect blood glucose levels.
