Yes, but although yam contains mucin, which has the function of lowering blood sugar, it is a rhizome food with high starch content. If you eat too much, it will not lower your blood sugar, but will lead to an increase in your blood sugar. Therefore, diabetics should not eat too much yam at a time. If some patients prefer to eat yam, then the amount of staple food should be reduced appropriately, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
