Can I eat sweet rice wine with eggs if I have high postprandial blood sugar?
Disease description:
I suddenly felt a bit dizzy today. After going to the hospital for a check-up, I found out my postprandial blood glucose level was high. My mother-in-law made sweet rice wine with eggs for lunch, and I really wanted to eat it. Is it okay for me to eat sweet rice wine with eggs when my postprandial blood glucose is high?

High postprandial blood glucose levels do not recommend consuming sweet rice wine with eggs, mainly for the following reasons:
1. **High sugar content**: Sweet rice wine with eggs contains a significant amount of sugar, which is easily absorbed by the body and can rapidly elevate blood glucose levels. For patients whose blood sugar has already risen after a meal, consuming high-sugar foods may further exacerbate blood glucose fluctuations, which is detrimental to health.
2. **Effect of alcohol**: Although the alcohol content in sweet rice wine with eggs may not be very high, alcohol metabolism can affect the liver's ability to regulate glucose, potentially indirectly impacting blood sugar stability. Moreover, alcohol may interfere with the effectiveness of antidiabetic medications, increasing the difficulty of blood glucose control.
3. **Total calorie control**: For individuals needing to manage their blood sugar levels, total caloric intake must also be strictly controlled. As an additional food item, sweet rice wine with eggs may increase overall daily caloric intake, leading to a further rise in blood glucose levels.
