My father has recently been diagnosed with diabetes, so can I have some energy soup? The nurse practitioner, Xiaojie, approached me and asked. She frowned and pushed her forehead with her hand. "But, my dad is fine without it, but when he drinks it, his blood sugar spikes."

"My mom said she went online and grabbed some apples, pineapples, red barley and oats. There are also black sesame seeds, a total of **** five kinds! She stood out the palm of her hand with five fingers and waved it in front of my eyes.

"Wow, that's a lot of ingredients that can affect your blood sugar." I shook my head. Another victim of "energy soup syndrome".

What is "energy soup syndrome"?

If we look at all the foods we can eat now, we can see that all of them are held hostage by the six major food groups: whole grains, roots and tubers - sugar (starch), beans, fish, meat, eggs and proteins, vegetables, fruits, and milk. Interestingly, of these six food groups, three major ones affect blood sugar and the other three do not.

Get it? The essence of the concept of energy soup is also dissolved in it. In the case of Xiaojie's father's energy soup, "apple, pineapple" are fruits that affect blood sugar, while "red barley, oats" are starch; even with the addition of black sesame, which is a kind of fat, it is still impossible to maintain a balance.

"Keep the food scale balanced and your blood sugar will be stable!

You can adjust the fruits in the energy soup, limit the total amount of fruits to eight bowls, cooked red barley, oats, the total amount of half a bowl to eight; additional white fungus or vegetables eight bowls, 250ml of unsweetened soymilk, it will not let the sugar out of control!
