When postprandial blood glucose levels are high, you can choose the following foods to help control blood sugar levels: 1. Foods rich in dietary fiber: such as whole grains including oats, buckwheat, and millet, as well as vegetables like celery, spinach, and broccoli. These foods are rich in dietary fiber, which increases satiety and delays gastric emptying, thereby slowing the rise in blood glucose levels. 2. High-quality protein foods: such as fish, shrimp, lean meat, eggs, and milk. These foods not only provide essential nutrients to the body but also help stabilize blood glucose levels. 3. Low-sugar fruits: such as kiwifruit, grapefruit, and bayberry. These fruits have a relatively low sugar content; moderate consumption can supply vitamins and minerals without causing a sharp increase in blood sugar levels. 4. Mushrooms and soy products: such as mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and tofu. These foods are not only nutritious but also help regulate blood glucose levels. It is recommended to develop a personalized meal plan under the guidance of a doctor or nutritionist to better control blood glucose levels.
