Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Individuals with high blood sugar can generally consume silkworm pupae. Silkworm pupae are rich in unsaturated fatty acids and protein; consuming them does not raise blood glucose levels and may even enhance immune function and help lower cholesterol. However, intake should be moderate—excessive consumption should be avoided to prevent adverse effects on the body.
