If sugar is not added during the processing of dried cuttlefish (wooden fish), and the consumption amount is properly controlled, individuals with high blood sugar can consume it in moderation. Dried cuttlefish, also known as wooden fish, is a high-protein, low-fat, and low-calorie food rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. However, it should be noted that although dried cuttlefish is high in protein, it may also contain certain carbohydrates, and excessive consumption could still affect blood sugar levels. Therefore, it is recommended that individuals with high blood sugar learn about the processing methods and ingredients of dried cuttlefish before consumption, opting for sugar-free or low-sugar products whenever possible, and controlling the portion size to maintain stable blood sugar levels. At the same time, dietary plans should also be adjusted according to individual blood sugar conditions and medical advice, ensuring balanced nutrition and effective blood sugar control.
