People with high blood sugar can consume mung bean paste desserts in moderation but should pay attention to controlling the intake. Mung bean paste desserts are primarily made from mung bean flour, sugar, and wheat flour, and they contain protein, dietary fiber, carbohydrates, as well as various vitamins and minerals. Eating them in moderation can help supplement essential nutrients. However, due to their high sugar and starch content, excessive consumption may lead to increased blood sugar levels, which is not conducive to blood sugar control. Therefore, individuals with high blood sugar should limit their intake of mung bean paste desserts to avoid overconsumption and monitor changes in blood sugar levels. It is also recommended to choose sugar-free or low-sugar mung bean paste products to reduce sugar intake. If there are any concerns or discomfort, it is advisable to consult a doctor or nutritionist promptly.
