Can people with high blood sugar eat red adzuki beans and coix seed (Job's tears)?
Disease description:
I noticed that there were adzuki beans and coix seed in the food this morning, so I would like to ask whether patients with high blood sugar can eat adzuki beans and coix seed?

Patients with high blood sugar can consume adzuki beans (also commonly known as small red beans) and coix seed, but should pay attention to portion control and cooking methods. Adzuki beans are rich in dietary fiber, protein, and various vitamins and minerals. They have a relatively low glycemic index, and moderate consumption can help control blood sugar levels. Coix seed has a higher glycemic index, especially after being pressure-cooked or roasted, which further increases its glycemic index. Therefore, patients with high blood sugar should carefully control the amount consumed and the cooking method of coix seed to avoid blood sugar fluctuations. The following points should be noted:
1. Control portion sizes and avoid excessive consumption.
2. Pay attention to cooking methods, choosing low-sugar, low-fat options whenever possible.
3. Closely monitor blood sugar changes and adjust diet and medication plans accordingly.
If there are any concerns or significant blood sugar fluctuations, it is advisable to promptly consult a doctor or professional nutritionist.
