Diabetic patients can eat tofu skin, because it does not contain sugar and is a typical low glycemic index food, diabetic patients will not experience a significant increase in blood sugar in the short term after consumption, which is very helpful for blood sugar control. As a kind of protein, tofu skin can supplement the patient’s amino acid to a certain extent, which is also helpful to improve the overall nutritional structure of the patient. However, patients with diabetic nephropathy often need to limit the intake of vegetable protein if they enter the stage of massive proteinuria, so it is not recommended to consume tofu skin in order to protect kidney function.
