Disease description:
I usually enjoy drinking congee and eating steamed buns. Today, I noticed severe dizziness, and after a hospital examination, my doctor told me that my blood sugar is high. I would like to know if it is okay for me to drink congee and eat steamed buns with high blood sugar?

Patients with high blood sugar can consume porridge and steamed buns in moderation, but should pay attention to ingredient selection, cooking methods, and portion control.
1. For porridge, it is recommended to choose low-sugar, high-fiber options such as millet porridge, and to control the portion size. Avoid overly soft or mushy porridge and added sugars to minimize adverse effects on blood glucose levels. Oatmeal porridge and pumpkin porridge, which are high in dietary fiber, are also good choices but should be consumed in moderation to prevent blood sugar fluctuations.
2. Regarding steamed buns, due to their high carbohydrate content from flour, patients with high blood sugar should consume them in moderation to avoid excessive intake that may elevate blood glucose levels. It is also recommended to choose coarse grain products such as steamed buns made from mixed grains or whole wheat flour to increase dietary fiber intake, which helps control blood sugar levels.
If necessary, patients should also adjust their antidiabetic medication dosages appropriately under a doctor's guidance.
