18 Foods Diabetics Should Steer Clear Of

15. Packed Snacks

Packed snacks such as chips, crackers and pretzels might be convenient to bring, and easy to find, but these are among the foods that are better to avoid. Package size can be very deceiving — while a pack of these treats tend to be quite small, they often contain a high amount of carbohydrates and very little nutrients. If you want a snack that is easy to eat and take with you when you’re on the go, opt for a packet of nuts or string cheese instead.
