What people with diabetes worry most about are blood sugar levels and complications of diabetes, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, people with diabetes will be more cautious about any food that may affect blood sugar or increase cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Chicken soup is a food that diabetics want to drink but are worried about.

Let’s first talk about the effect of chicken soup on blood sugar. Chicken soup in most areas does not add sugar, so it naturally has little effect on blood sugar. However, in a few areas, it is customary to add a lot of sugar to chicken soup, which is not suitable for diabetics.

Let’s talk about whether chicken soup will increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Many people think that chicken soup is rich in nutrients. In fact, the nutrients in chicken soup are limited. Because the solubility of protein is very low, the protein in chicken soup is limited. Apart from water, the most content in chicken soup is salt and fat. These two things cause diabetics to worry, because high salt and high fat will increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

People with diabetes should avoid high-salt and high-fat foods, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need salt and fat, but they should eat them in moderation. Therefore, diabetics can drink chicken soup. The key is the amount and method of drinking. The first is to drink less, just a small bowl. Secondly, the chicken soup should not be too salty. When drinking the soup, remove the layer of oil on the surface, so that less salt and fat will be eaten.

Life must go on, and the deliciousness of chicken soup must also be enjoyed. People with diabetes can also enjoy life and drink chicken soup. The key is to control the dosage. One last word, chicken can also be eaten, especially chicken breasts. Just don’t eat too much. Don’t eat chicken skin?

It should be said that diabetics can definitely drink chicken soup. However, how much chicken soup to drink is the question. Because different people make chicken soup in different ways, the fat and salt content in the chicken soup will be different. The chicken soup I know in many places in northern China is made in a way that is relatively high in salt and fat. Diabetics should eat less chicken soup made this way. Because diabetic patients are also at high risk of hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and at the same time, diabetic patients should control their blood pressure and blood lipids more strictly, which is also required by major guidelines.

So, I personally believe that diabetic patients should drink chicken soup in moderation, and at the same time, pay attention to removing as much chicken fat as possible from the chicken soup, and adding as little sugar and salt as possible. This relatively light chicken soup is made, and diabetics can still eat it with confidence.

Finally, you can eat chicken, especially chicken breasts. Just don’t eat too much. Don’t eat chicken skin.

I hope my answer will be helpful to you who love to drink chicken soup and have abnormal blood sugar.
