Sweet potatoes, this delicious and nutritious food, are irresistible to many people. Especially in the cold seasons, holding a warm roasted sweet potato and savoring its sweet flavor truly brings a happiness that is hard to describe.

In the initial stage, he felt that this change was very beneficial for his health since sweet potatoes are rich in dietary fiber, which theoretically can help control blood sugar levels. However, during his next hospital visit, the doctor told him that although sweet potatoes are a nutrient-rich food, their higher sugar content could actually raise blood sugar levels if consumed excessively.
Next, let’s look at another fictional example, a retired elderly lady who is also a loyal fan of roasted sweet potatoes. Although she does not have diabetes, the risk of high blood sugar led her doctor to advise her to monitor her total carbohydrate intake, including that from sweet potatoes.
This lady was cautious; she began to record her blood sugar responses after eating sweet potatoes and discussed the results with her doctor. She found that on days she ate sweet potatoes in moderation, her blood sugar was easier to control; but if she ate too much at once, it became difficult to manage.
Sweet potatoes, this delicious and nutritious food, are irresistible to many people. Especially in the cold seasons, holding a warm roasted sweet potato and savoring its sweet flavor truly brings a happiness that is hard to describe.
