Can people with high blood sugar take nutritional supplements?

People with high blood sugar can take nutritional supplements, but they should be chosen cautiously and ideally under the guidance of a physician. Generally, supplements that are sugar-free or low in sugar are recommended, such as protein-rich supplements (e.g., unsweetened milk powder, beef), supplements high in dietary fiber (e.g., corn, oats), and supplements rich in trace elements (e.g., phosphorus, iron, magnesium found in wheat, hawthorn, etc.). These nutritional supplements can help individuals with high blood sugar meet their nutritional needs without causing an increase in blood glucose levels. It should be noted that nutritional supplements cannot replace medical treatment. Individuals with high blood sugar should still follow their doctor's treatment plan, manage their diet appropriately, and maintain stable blood sugar levels. When choosing nutritional supplements, carefully check the ingredient list and avoid products with high levels of sugar or carbohydrates.
