Can people with high blood sugar eat black rice crisps?
Disease description:
I have had high blood sugar for several years. Recently, a colleague brought me a box of black rice crisps. Can I eat them?

If a patient's blood glucose levels are well-controlled, they may consume black rice crisps in moderation, but should be mindful of portion sizes to avoid excessive intake that could cause blood glucose fluctuations. Due to the certain amount of sugar and calories in black rice crisps (approximately 303 kcal per 100 grams, with carbohydrate content as high as 66.7 grams), overconsumption may negatively affect blood glucose levels. Therefore, for patients with elevated blood glucose, black rice crisps are not an ideal snack choice. If they do wish to consume them, it is recommended to have only a small amount and choose sugar-free or low-sugar versions whenever possible. Additionally, patients should maintain a balanced and diverse daily diet, emphasizing foods rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals to help maintain stable blood glucose levels and overall health.
