Dr. Yang Ziqi
Patients with high blood sugar can eat loach, but should pay attention to moderation and control the cooking method. Loach, a high-protein, low-fat food, is rich in high-quality protein, vitamin A, B vitamins, calcium, and unsaturated fatty acids, which have minimal impact on blood glucose levels and can help improve immune function. Excessive consumption of loach may cause blood sugar fluctuations or increase the burden on the kidneys, so moderate intake is recommended. When preparing loach, it is advisable to use less cooking oil and avoid high-fat cooking methods such as frying, opting instead for healthier preparation techniques. Additionally, when purchasing loach, it is important to choose reliable food sources to ensure freshness and hygiene, and to avoid consuming loach cultivated in polluted water bodies.
