Qingtuan is a traditional snack eaten by people in the south of the Yangtze River on Qingming Festival. According to research, the name of the Youth League began in the Tang Dynasty, and has a history of more than 1,000 years. Every Qingming Festival, the Youth League is almost steamed. In ancient times, people made Qingtuan mainly for sacrifices. Although Qingtuan has been around for thousands of years and its appearance has not changed, its function as a sacrifice has been gradually weakened, and it has become a highly seasonal snack.

But this soft and fragrant food is a “sweet burden” for diabetics.

We all know that the glycemic index of a food is one of the criteria for evaluating whether a food is suitable for diabetics. Although wormwood with low glycemic index and low glycemic load is added to the epidermis of Qingtuan, the main raw materials are glutinous rice and white sugar with high glycemic index. After consumption by diabetic patients, blood sugar fluctuates greatly.

In addition, Qingtuan now has a lot of fillings, including traditional bean paste fillings, as well as meat floss, egg yolk, black sesame and other fillings developed later to meet the needs of various tastes. These fillings are high in sugar, which can make blood sugar fluctuate. So diabetics need to be extra careful and don’t overdo it.
