Dr. Yang Ziqi
People with high blood sugar should consume pork offal, such as pig's large intestine and pork kidneys, with caution. Although these ingredients are rich in protein and minerals, they also contain high levels of fat and cholesterol, which are detrimental to the control of blood sugar and blood lipid levels. Long-term excessive intake of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods may lead to weight gain and increased insulin resistance, thereby worsening hyperglycemia. Therefore, individuals with high blood sugar should strive to choose low-fat, low-cholesterol foods in their daily diet, such as lean meat, fish, and vegetables, to maintain stable blood sugar levels. It is also recommended to develop a personalized meal plan under the guidance of a doctor or nutritionist, ensuring proper food combinations to effectively manage blood sugar and maintain overall health.
