People with high postprandial blood glucose can consume black goji berries in moderation. Black goji berries are rich in vitamins and minerals, and have the effects of regulating immunity and promoting the recovery of islet function, providing significant health benefits for diabetic patients. They also contain anthocyanins, which offer antioxidant properties, improve vascular elasticity, and help inhibit inflammation and allergic reactions. In addition, black goji berries can help nourish the blood and vital energy, and support kidney function and vitality. Despite these benefits, individuals with high postprandial blood glucose should consume them in moderation to avoid excessive sugar intake, which may cause fluctuations in blood glucose levels. It is recommended to follow the guidance of a doctor or nutritionist, incorporating individual health conditions and nutritional needs into dietary planning to ensure stable blood glucose levels.
