Patients with high blood sugar can eat eggs boiled with Artemisia argyi (mugwort), but should do so in moderation. Eggs boiled with Artemisia argyi contain relatively low sugar and generally do not significantly affect blood glucose levels. Artemisia argyi is rich in flavonoids, phenolic acids, vitamin C, and other components, which possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, helping to enhance human immunity. Eggs, on the other hand, are a source of high-quality protein and contain abundant vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to health. All foods should be consumed in moderation; excessive intake of eggs boiled with Artemisia argyi may affect blood sugar control. Therefore, it is important to maintain a balanced diet and avoid overconsumption of any single food. If you have any concerns or experience discomfort, it is advisable to promptly consult a physician or nutritionist.
