Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Patients with high blood sugar should not drink Yakult. This is mainly because Yakult is a beverage with relatively high sugar content, and consuming it may worsen the condition and impair blood glucose control. For individuals with high blood sugar, it is important to maintain a diet low in salt, fat, and sugar in daily life. If blood glucose levels are not adequately controlled, it is recommended to take oral hypoglycemic medications under the guidance of a healthcare professional and to engage in appropriate physical activity.
