Can I eat lean meat if I have high blood sugar and high uric acid?
Disease description:
Could my high uric acid and slightly elevated blood sugar levels be due to long-term poor eating habits? Can I eat lean meat in such a situation?

Patients with both high blood sugar and high uric acid levels can consume lean meat in moderation, but should pay attention to the following points:
1. Control portion size: Although lean meat is generally healthy, its daily intake should be strictly limited. For patients with high uric acid levels, the daily intake of lean meat is recommended to be around 50 grams to avoid excessive intake of purines that may affect uric acid levels. Patients with high blood sugar should also control their lean meat consumption according to their individual condition to avoid excessive total calorie intake.
2. Choose appropriate types of lean meat: It is recommended to choose low-fat, low-cholesterol lean meats such as pork loin, chicken breast, skinless duck meat, and goose meat. These meats are not only high in protein but also relatively low in fat, making them more suitable for patients with high blood sugar and high uric acid levels.
3. Cooking methods: When preparing lean meat, avoid using high-fat and high-salt seasonings or methods such as frying and deep-frying. It is recommended to use healthier cooking methods such as steaming, boiling, or stewing to reduce the intake of fat and salt.
