Dr. Yang Ziqi
Diabetic patients can generally eat stir-fried rice noodles, but should consume them in moderation.
Rice noodles are rich in protein, minerals, dietary fiber, and other nutrients, which can help supplement necessary nutrients and benefit the spleen and stomach. Therefore, from a nutritional perspective, diabetic patients may consume stir-fried rice noodles. However, stir-fried rice noodles also contain high levels of starch and calories and are considered foods with a high glycemic index. Eating large amounts of stir-fried rice noodles can easily lead to significant increases in post-meal blood sugar levels, which is unfavorable for blood sugar control in diabetic patients. Therefore, it is recommended that diabetic patients consume stir-fried rice noodles in moderation.
Diabetic patients can eat stir-fried rice noodles in appropriate amounts but should control the portion size to avoid excessive intake that may elevate blood sugar levels. Additionally, it is recommended that diabetic patients focus on a balanced diet with both coarse and fine grains to maintain stable blood sugar levels. If in doubt, consult a healthcare professional.
