For individuals with high blood sugar levels, moderate consumption of black soybean powder is acceptable. Black soybean powder, made from ground black soybeans, is rich in high-quality plant protein, dietary fiber, and various minerals and vitamins, which can help maintain stable blood glucose levels. Dietary fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugar from food, thus preventing sharp increases in blood sugar. At the same time, the nutrients in black soybean powder also contribute to promoting overall health and enhancing immunity. It should be noted that although black soybean powder has a relatively minor impact on blood sugar, it should still be consumed in moderation to avoid excessive caloric intake. Additionally, individuals with high blood sugar should consider their personal blood glucose monitoring results when consuming black soybean powder and follow the advice of a physician or nutritionist to ensure dietary appropriateness and scientific accuracy.
