Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Yang Ziqi
People with high blood sugar can consume eggs boiled with mugwort leaves, but should do so in moderation. Eggs boiled with mugwort leaves contain a certain amount of carbohydrates, but have a low glycemic index. They are also rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals, making them relatively less impactful on blood glucose levels. Moderate consumption of eggs boiled with mugwort leaves can provide necessary nutrients to the body without causing a sharp increase in blood sugar. However, due to individual differences in physical condition and health status, it is recommended to consult a doctor or nutritionist before consumption and develop a personalized dietary plan. In addition, people with high blood sugar should also pay attention to controlling total calorie intake in daily life, eat more low-sugar, low-fat, high-fiber foods, and maintain a balanced diet to keep blood sugar levels stable.
