Diabetes is a chronic disease caused by high levels of blood sugar, also known as blood glucose. The insulin produced by your pancreas is responsible for getting the glucose from the food that you eat to flow through your bloodstream and into your cells. This becomes your main source of energy. So if your pancreas does not produce enough insulin or is not able to use insulin efficiently, too much glucose will be left in your bloodstream, which could cause a number of health problems, and even failure of various organs.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there is no cure for diabetes, there are ways to manage the illness. If you suffer from this disease, carefully watching your diet will go a long way in maintaining your health. Because carbs are broken down into sugar, or glucose, that is absorbed in your bloodstream, carb intake plays a major role in proper maintenance. Although we need carbohydrates to fuel our energy, too much of these can become problematic for someone with diabetes. Consuming too much at a time can cause dangerously high blood sugar levels, which can then damage your body’s blood vessels over time, and may eventually lead to serious health conditions such as heart and kidney diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, it is important to avoid certain foods if you have diabetes. Here are 18 types of food to avoid.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Baked Sweets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
cms<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It should be obvious that any type of sugar-laden sweets should be avoided by someone suffering from diabetes. But many baked goods such as cakes and cookies contain not only a high amount of sugar, but also refined grains with an equally high carbohydrate content. Even a non-diabetic would acknowledge how sinful these treats are, so it would be best to just avoid the temptation altogether if you have the illness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. White Bread and Bagels<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
media npr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is widely known that too much sugar is a big no-no for diabetics. However, carbohydrates can also negatively impact those suffering from the disease. White bread, bagels and other foods made of refined flour can significantly raise blood sugar levels. The low fiber content of these processed foods also play a role in the quicker absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. If you are the type who couldn’t live without bread, learn which types are best for you. Keto bread usually has a low carb content, while those that are high in fiber may significantly reduce blood sugar levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. White Rice and White Pasta<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
donnamoderna<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, white rice, white pasta and other refined grains are high in carbohydrates, but low in protein. This is why these kind of foods are best avoided by diabetics. But rest assured that there are better, high-fiber options to choose from, such as brown or wild rice, and pasta made from beans or lentils. However, if there is nothing quite like white rice and white pasta for you, just make sure you practice portion control and balance your meal with lean protein and high-fiber vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Candy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
badassvalkyrie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It goes without saying that candy can be very harmful to anyone with diabetes. Even non-diabetics have nothing to gain from these nutritionless sweets, except maybe a little more weight. Candy contains a load of unnecessary sugars, and the more concentrated the amounts of these that you take, the more your blood sugar is affected. The only thing you could possibly get from candy is an emotional boost or sugar rush, and these can make it quite addicting. But if you just can’t resist a small candy fix, make sure to check the label first, and opt for a sugar-free version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Soda<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
eastidahonews<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No one would mistake soda for a healthy drink. It is known to contain a very high amount of sugar, and absolutely no nutritional value. It may even be addicting or make you crave for more sweet treats. As with candy, even non-diabetics have nothing to benefit from soda. So it comes as no surprise that people with diabetes are advised by doctors to totally avoid soda, as it can cause their blood sugar to rise very quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Fruit Juice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
cloudinary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The word “fruit” might fool you into thinking that fruit juices are healthy, but most of those out in the market contain much more sugar than the actual nutritious content that you might think you are getting. Simply checking the label might be enough to make you put that drink back on the shelf. If you still want to enjoy some fruit juice, it would be much better to make some yourself using fresh fruit without any additives. Just be careful what fruit to use, as some of these fruits already have high natural sugar content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Some Fresh Fruits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
verywellhealth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fruits are generally thought of as healthy foods. However, not all fruits are created equal. While they do contain vitamins and nutrients, a number of these have a very high sugar content. Some of the fruits that doctors advise to be eaten in moderation are mangoes, grapes, papayas, cherries, melons, and watermelons. It is best to consult with your doctor about the recommended serving of the fruits you want to include in your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Dried Fruit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
myfitnesspal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dried fruits are even worse for diabetics than fresh ones. For starters, the process of making dried fruit strips away most of its nutrients. In addition, it contains concentrated amounts of sugar and carbs, which can especially be bad if you have diabetes. If you wish to have some dried fruit, make sure to be very careful about how much you consume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

9. Specialty Coffee Drinks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
thatsweetgift<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you are a diabetic and a coffee addict, you need not worry about giving up your daily dose of caffeine. However, you should definitely watch what you put in your coffee. Most specialty coffee drinks are loaded with syrup, flavouring, and cream, which could seriously increase your carb and sugar intake. In fact, many ice-blended coffee beverages contain up to two days’ worth of your recommended daily carb intake, which should be alarming even for non-diabetics. It’s easy to see why it would be best to opt for black coffee to get your caffeine fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

10. Breakfast Cereals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
insider<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cereals are not only quick to prepare when you are in a rush or feel too lazy to fix up a proper breakfast, but they may also be a comfort food straight from your childhood days. However, a lot of these contain too little of the good and too much of the bad. Many breakfast cereals tend to be low in fiber and protein, and high in carbs and added sugars. These can cause a spike in your blood sugar. In addition, the low fiber content can cause you to become hungry long before lunch time, urging you to have an additional snack. There are plenty healthier breakfast options to choose from that are also easy to prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

11. French Fries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
cnbcfm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

French fries are one of the most well-known and best-loved snacks. Nearly everyone must have tried some at one point or another. But it must be equally well-known that these deep-fried potato strips are quite unhealthy, and this is even more so for diabetics. Not only are potatoes a major source of carbohydrates, the method of frying makes French fries even worse. If it is difficult for you to totally cut fries out of your diet, try making some at home using sweet potatoes, or opt for a baked potato instead to satisfy that potato craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

12. Fried Food<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
eatouteatwell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Aside from fries, just about any other fried food is thought to be unhealthy. Diabetics in particular have even more cause for concern. A study has shown that fried food may lead to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, as well as a moderately increased risk of coronary artery disease. Those prepared in restaurants have a good chance of being even worse for you, as you don’t know what type of oil they use to fry in. It would be best to just wean yourself from fried food, and choose something that is prepared using a healthier cooking method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

13. Natural Sweeteners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
rodpub<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is a well-known fact that diabetics should steer clear of refined or white sugar, especially if they are insulin dependent. But what many might not be aware of is that natural sweeteners like honey or agave nectar are high in carbohydrates, and may negatively affect your blood sugar. There are a variety of artificial sweeteners out in the market today, and you could consult your doctor about which one is the best option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

14. Fruit Yogurt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
wikihow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yogurt is known to be healthy, offering a number of benefits such as improved digestion, hypertension prevention, lower risks of getting diabetes and colorectal cancer, a better complexion. However, if you are suffering from diabetes, it is important to choose the best yogurt for you. Fruit-flavored yogurts, especially those that contain fruit chunks, have a higher sugar  content, and may cause a spike in your blood sugar level. It would be better to avoid these, and opt for fruit-free varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

15. Packed Snacks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
discountvending<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

16. Energy Bars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
alissarumsey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although energy bars are targeted towards people who are watching their diet, not all of them are good for those with diabetes. A lot of energy bars contain high amounts of sugar, saturated fats, and other ingredients that you should avoid if you have the disease. Although these bars may be doing their job of providing energy, they may cause your blood sugar levels to go up quickly. It is important to read the label before choosing a snack bar, and opt for something that is Keto-approved or one that is better geared toward diabetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

17. Alcohol<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
ucsf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Alcohol can affect diabetes in different ways. It can impact the liver’s function to store glycogen, which is the form glucose takes when it is stored. Instead of focusing on the regulation of blood sugar, your liver will have to work on removing alcohol from your blood when you have some to drink. Aside from this, alcohol can interact negatively with some of the medications that are prescribed to diabetics. It is important to be aware of your blood sugar level before having a drink, and never to drink on an empty stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

18. Condiments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
meredithcorp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A lot of people probably don’t give a lot of thought to the condiments they use. But what might seemingly be harmless could possibly contain too much sugar for someone with diabetes. You might be surprised by the numbers. For example, 2 tablespoons of ketchup can contain at least 8 grams of sugar, and barbecue sauce up to 12 grams. Always read the label first, and make sure you stick to the proper serving size if you must have some condiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having diabetes may require a lot of willpower, but if you have an awareness of which foods are good for you, and which you should avoid or cut down, maintaining your health could become easier to manage. Not everything on this list needs to be totally cut out of your diet, but do take the time to learn the acceptable serving portions, and don’t hesitate to consult with your doctor if you are unsure about your diet. The extra effort you would need to make would pay off in the long run, as this could help you avoid complications that diabetes could lead to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
