Disease description:

Patients with high blood sugar can eat fried chicken cutlets but should pay attention to the following points:
1. Control cooking methods and portion sizes: Fried chicken cutlets are a type of fried food, and oils are added during preparation, increasing their fat content. Therefore, patients with high blood sugar should control the cooking method, minimize the use of oil, and manage portion sizes to avoid excessive fat intake and caloric surplus, which may negatively affect blood sugar control.
2. Quality of the chicken cutlets: Choose cutlets made from high-quality chicken and avoid those containing excessive additives and seasonings.
3. Pair with vegetables: When eating fried chicken cutlets, pair them with some vegetables, such as leafy greens or broccoli, to increase dietary fiber intake, which helps control blood sugar levels.
4. Monitor blood sugar: After consumption, closely monitor blood sugar changes to allow timely adjustments to diet and medication dosage.
