What types of noodles can people with high blood sugar eat?
Disease description:
I went to the hospital for a medical checkup and was diagnosed with diabetes. The doctor said that I need to control my intake of flour-based foods. However, our staple food here is mainly flour-based, so I would like to ask what types of flour-based foods are suitable for people with high blood sugar levels?

People with high blood sugar can choose certain types of noodles that are relatively low in carbohydrates and rich in dietary fiber to help control blood glucose levels. Consider the following noodle options:
1. Whole grain noodles: such as barley flour noodles, cornmeal noodles, sweet potato noodles, millet noodles, etc. Compared to traditional white flour noodles, these noodles have lower carbohydrate content and are rich in dietary fiber, which helps delay the rise in blood sugar levels.
2. High-gluten flour noodles: when choosing flour, opt for high-gluten flour. High-gluten flour generally contains higher levels of protein and dietary fiber, helping to increase satiety and control blood sugar.
3. Pay attention to cooking methods: when preparing noodles, avoid overcooking to reduce starch release and prevent spikes in blood sugar. Additionally, noodles can be consumed together with vegetables, meats, and other ingredients to increase intake of dietary fiber and protein, which helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.
If needed, please consult a professional doctor or nutritionist for advice.
