People with high blood sugar can eat boiled eggs at night, but should pay attention to the following points:
1. Moderate intake: Eggs are a suitable source of high-quality protein for individuals with high blood sugar. However, intake should be controlled, and it is recommended not to exceed one egg per day to avoid excessive protein consumption, which may negatively affect blood glucose levels.
2. Cooking method: Boiling is a recommended way to prepare eggs, as it is simple and preserves most of the nutritional content of the eggs, while avoiding the intake of greasy and high-calorie substances.
3. Total calorie control: Individuals with high blood sugar need to strictly control total calorie intake in their diet. Therefore, when consuming boiled eggs at night, they should be included within the daily calorie plan to ensure that total calorie intake does not exceed the recommended limit.
4. Blood glucose monitoring: After eating boiled eggs, individuals with high blood sugar are advised to closely monitor their blood glucose levels. If abnormalities occur, prompt medical consultation is recommended to adjust dietary and treatment plans accordingly.
