People with high blood sugar can consume peanut oil, but should do so in moderation. Peanut oil, a type of vegetable oil, is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, among other nutrients. Moderate consumption can help lower cholesterol levels and prevent atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. However, peanut oil is also high in calories and fat, and excessive intake may negatively affect blood sugar levels. Therefore, individuals with high blood sugar should control their intake of peanut oil and avoid overconsumption. At the same time, they should maintain a balanced and varied diet, combined with appropriate exercise and medication, to help stabilize blood sugar levels and promote a healthy lifestyle. If there are any concerns or special circumstances, it is recommended to consult a doctor or nutritionist for professional advice.
