It is acceptable for patients with high blood sugar to occasionally consume stewed noodles, but they should pay attention to the following points:
1. Control portion size: Noodles are carbohydrates that convert into glucose after consumption and affect blood sugar levels. Therefore, it is important to control the amount consumed each time to avoid excessive intake that may cause a sharp increase in blood sugar.
2. Choose appropriate cooking methods: When preparing stewed noodles, opt for light cooking methods and avoid adding excessive oil, salt, or sugar to minimize the impact on blood sugar levels.
3. Combine with other foods: When eating stewed noodles, pair them with foods rich in protein and dietary fiber, such as lean meats and vegetables, to slow down the rise in blood sugar and enhance satiety.
4. Monitor blood sugar: After consuming stewed noodles, closely monitor blood sugar changes to allow timely adjustments to dietary and medical treatment plans.
