What foods to avoid with diabetes?

Absolutely! It's important to focus on a balanced diet that includes whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Sugary drinks and processed foods can cause spikes in blood sugar levels, so it's best to limit those as much as possible. Also, foods with a high glycemic index, like white bread and potatoes, can cause a rapid increase in blood sugar, so those should be eaten in moderation as well.

In addition to avoiding certain foods, it's also important to pay attention to portion sizes. Even healthy foods can contribute to high blood sugar levels if you eat too much of them. And did you know that fiber can help slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream? So, foods high in fiber, like leafy greens, can be beneficial for diabetes management.

It's also a good idea to avoid foods with added sugars, like cakes, cookies, and candy. These foods can cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels and can lead to weight gain, which can make diabetes harder to manage. And while we're on the topic of weight management, regular exercise can help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. Just make sure to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise routine.
