Can people with high blood sugar consume cooking oil used for stir-frying?
Disease description:
I’ve been feeling hungry frequently lately and urinating more often. After visiting the hospital for tests, my doctor diagnosed me with high blood sugar and advised me to control my diet. Can I still use cooking oil (e.g., for stir-frying) if I have high blood sugar?

Individuals with high blood glucose can generally consume cooking oil used for stir-frying, but only in small amounts. Dietary management for hyperglycemia emphasizes low sodium, low fat, low oil, and low salt intake. Excessive consumption of greasy foods may elevate blood glucose levels and, in severe cases, lead to other complications. A light, balanced diet is recommended, with attention to overall nutritional balance and avoidance of high-sugar foods.
