Does tomato and egg soup raise blood sugar levels?

Both tomatoes and eggs contain a variety of rich nutrients. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and lycopene, while eggs are a source of high-quality protein. This combination generally does not directly cause a significant increase in blood sugar levels.

The glycemic index of tomato egg soup is not high, mainly because it contains relatively low amounts of sugar and the sugar is absorbed relatively slowly. However, for individuals with diabetes or those experiencing poor blood sugar control, total caloric intake and carbohydrate consumption in the diet are key factors influencing blood sugar levels. When preparing tomato egg soup, adding excessive oil, salt, or other high-sugar seasonings, or consuming it in excessive quantities, may indirectly affect blood sugar levels.

It is recommended that diabetic patients pay attention to maintaining a balanced overall diet, consume appropriate portions, avoid adding excessive sugar or high-calorie seasonings, and, with proper control, tomato egg soup should not significantly affect blood sugar levels.
