So what's the deal?
Seaweed is a healthy food with many benefits. Some studies have pointed out that seaweed is rich in polysaccharides, which have the effect of significantly reducing fasting blood sugar.
Liu Min, chief physician of endocrinology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that there are many polysaccharides that are beneficial to lowering blood glucose, but need to be ingested in sufficient quantities. For the purple cabbage, usually as purple cabbage soup or purple cabbage soup appeared on the table, people's consumption of less, it is difficult to really play a role in lowering blood sugar, not to mention can not replace the hypoglycemic drugs.

In particular, nori is low in calories and has a low glycemic index (11 for nori), and there is no great restriction on the consumption of nori by diabetics.
It should be noted that: 1. Purple cabbage is rich in iodine, and diabetic patients are prone to accompany the hyperthyroidism, this kind of sugar lover should avoid eating purple cabbage. 2. The glycemic index of nori wrapped rice is as high as 94, which is not recommended for sugar lovers. Sugar lovers such as no hyperthyroidism problem, you can rest assured that the consumption of purple cabbage, but eating purple cabbage also have certain tips. Liu Min said, sugar lovers must drink purple cabbage soup before meals, so that to a certain extent can increase the sense of satiety, to avoid eating too much, so as to reduce postprandial blood sugar. If you drink soup after a meal, it will increase the glycemic index of the food you eat, which makes the postprandial blood sugar spike. There are a lot of soup dishes usually add a lot of starch thickening, so it will increase the calories as well as the glycemic index of the food, so the sugar lover in the eating purple cabbage, should be as far as possible to choose the soup, and avoid the soup. Add some shrimp, silverfish, lean meat in the purple cabbage soup can also increase the protein content, making the purple cabbage soup more nutritious, and at the same time will not have a greater impact on blood sugar.
