Dr. Pan Yongyuan
People with high blood sugar can generally consume pollen in moderation, but should not eat too much. Pollen is rich in various amino acids, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and trace elements such as active substances, effectively supplementing nutrients essential for the human body. Drinking pollen water can provide nutritional benefits and quench thirst; therefore, patients with high blood glucose may take an appropriate amount of pollen. However, since pollen still contains some sugar, patients are advised not to overconsume it and should pay attention to controlling the total intake.
