Dr. Yang Ziqi
Diabetic patients can consume black rice, black bean, and black sesame soup in moderation and with proper combination. Black rice, black beans, and black sesame are all rich in proteins, vitamins, trace elements, and other nutrients, and have relatively low sugar content. Moderate consumption generally does not cause sharp increases in blood glucose levels. The soup made from these ingredients not only helps replenish necessary nutrients but also benefits health, such as improving intestinal function and enhancing immunity. Diabetic patients should control the amount consumed to avoid significant fluctuations in blood sugar levels due to excessive intake at one time. Additionally, excessive sugar or other high-calorie seasonings should be avoided during preparation in order to maintain the soup's low-sugar, low-fat characteristics.
