Diabetic patients can eat royal jelly in moderation, which can provide nutrients for the body, but royal jelly has no blood sugar lowering effect.
Royal jelly is prepared from the gel secreted by the pharyngeal glands of worker bees and honey, and contains magnesium ions, protein, vitamin B1 and other nutrients, which can provide nutrients for the human body. However, royal jelly contains high sugar content and glycemic index, which may cause blood sugar fluctuation and is not conducive to blood sugar control. Diabetic patients can consume it in moderation when their blood sugar is stable and should not overdo it.
However, royal jelly is not able to lower blood sugar, and excessive consumption can also cause a sudden rise in blood sugar. Diabetic patients should follow the doctor’s instructions to regulate the injection of insulin, oral hypoglycemic drug therapy, such as metformin, Mentholatum insulin, etc., the daily choice of low-salt, low-sugar, low-fat diet, to avoid high-sugar, deep-fried food, and moderate physical and functional training, can help to reduce blood glucose.
No food can replace drugs to lower blood sugar. It is recommended that diabetic patients monitor their blood glucose regularly, and go to a regular hospital if their blood glucose is abnormal. For more food-related knowledge, please consult a nutritionist.
