Can people with high blood sugar eat mung bean paste desserts?

Patients with high blood sugar are advised to consume mung bean paste desserts in moderation and with caution. Mung beans, the primary ingredient, are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, offering general health benefits such as clearing heat and relieving summer heat, as well as providing essential nutrients. However, during the production of mung bean paste desserts, significant amounts of sugar (e.g., sucrose, maltose) are often added to enhance flavor and texture, making these desserts high-sugar foods. Therefore, if individuals with high blood sugar consume commercially available mung bean paste desserts directly, their blood glucose levels may rise rapidly, which is detrimental to disease management. If they truly wish to eat mung bean paste desserts, it is recommended to reduce the amount of added sugar or even substitute it with sugar substitutes when preparing them at home, and to consume them in moderation while monitoring blood glucose levels. Additionally, attention should be given to maintaining an overall balanced diet, avoiding the intake of other high-sugar and high-fat foods, to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
