Generally, people with high blood sugar can consume pork rib stewed with winter melon. As long as the soup remains light, with minimal oil and salt, the winter melon can promote diuresis and urination, while the pork ribs provide calcium. Patients can eat moderate amounts appropriately for beneficial effects and good nutrition. It is recommended that individuals with high blood sugar eat small, frequent meals, maintain a light diet, and avoid high-sugar foods.
