Can patients with high blood sugar eat five-nut mooncakes?

Generally, patients with high blood sugar can eat five-nut mooncakes, but should do so in moderation.

The main ingredients of five-nut mooncakes include flour, sesame seeds, melon seeds, and other nuts, which are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. If blood sugar levels are well-controlled, occasional and moderate consumption is acceptable, but the calories should be accounted for in the total daily caloric intake, and intake of other foods may need to be reduced accordingly. Additionally, monitoring blood sugar levels after meals is necessary to ensure they do not rise significantly.

However, during preparation, five-nut mooncakes often contain substantial added sugar to improve taste. Therefore, excessive consumption by individuals with high blood sugar may lead to blood glucose fluctuations, which are detrimental to disease management. When eating mooncakes, pairing them with some fiber-rich vegetables or fruits can aid digestion and slow the rise in blood sugar levels.

In daily life, patients with elevated blood sugar should focus on balanced nutrition, appropriately control sugar and calorie intake, and maintain stable blood glucose levels. Patients should also closely monitor their blood sugar levels to adjust diet and medication dosage as needed.
