Mung bean paste pastries are not recommended for people with high blood sugar, especially for pregnant women with gestational hyperglycemia, who should be particularly cautious. Although mung bean paste pastries are nutritious and contain protein, calcium, zinc, iron, and various vitamins, they have a very high sugar content and are considered high-calorie foods. Consuming them may cause a rapid increase in blood glucose levels, which is detrimental to blood sugar control and stability. For individuals with high blood sugar, it is recommended to choose low-sugar, low-fat, high-fiber foods, such as whole grains and leafy green vegetables, to help maintain stable blood glucose levels. In addition, regular blood glucose monitoring and following the advice of a physician or dietitian to develop a reasonable meal plan are also important measures for managing blood sugar.
