Disease description:
Uncle's family has recently been selling Ejiao cake, saying that it is good for health. I bought several boxes, but my wife said that she couldn't eat it because of high blood sugar. Therefore, I would like to know whether men with high blood sugar can consume Ejiao cake.

It is recommended that men with high blood sugar exercise caution when consuming Ejiao cake. Ejiao cake is a traditional nourishing product that is rich in protein, amino acids, and various minerals, offering certain health benefits. During its preparation, sweeteners such as honey are typically added, resulting in a high sugar and calorie content. For men with elevated blood sugar levels, excessive intake of sugar and calories may further increase blood glucose levels, which is unfavorable for condition management. Therefore, men with high blood sugar are advised to consult a physician or nutritionist before consuming Ejiao cake to determine whether their individual health condition and constitution are suitable for its consumption, and to control the intake amount in order to avoid excessive consumption that may cause blood sugar fluctuations. At the same time, men with high blood sugar should also pay attention to dietary control, following the "three lows" principle of low salt, low sugar, and low fat, consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
