Can people with diabetes drink carrot and lean meat soup?
Disease description:
I was diagnosed with diabetes and would like to cook some carrot and lean meat soup. I'm not sure if I can eat it. May I ask if people with diabetes can drink carrot and lean meat soup?

Diabetic patients can consume carrot and lean meat soup, a nutritious dish that is beneficial for their condition. Carrots are rich in B-complex vitamins, retinol, carotene, and abundant in calcium, iron, zinc, and other substances. They help lower blood glucose, blood lipids, and blood pressure, protect vision, and can also promote growth and development and enhance immunity. Lean meat is rich in high-quality protein and has functions such as nourishing the middle jiao, replenishing qi, nourishing the kidneys and blood, moistening dryness, nourishing yin, and protecting the skin. It also helps supplement nutrition for individuals with deficiency of both qi and blood. When preparing carrot and lean meat soup, diabetic patients should avoid adding sugar-containing seasonings such as white granulated sugar to prevent elevated blood glucose levels. At the same time, they should control the portion size to avoid excessive intake of calories and fat.
