There are four food groups you should be steering clear of if you have
type II diabetes.
So let’s help you identify them and make sure you know why you need to avoid them.
Four foods groups that cause havoc in the system of a diabetic
Any food your body can quickly convert to sugar should be avoided. Your body is already struggling to take the sugar out of your blood and make it useful to your cells, so the last thing you want to do is get more sugar in your blood.
Let’s start with the obvious one: Sugar containing foods.
Sugar gets “stuck” in the bloodstream and causes all kinds of problems in diabetics
So your obvious sugary foods include sweets, chocolates, cakes, biscuits etc. You’re well aware of the no-no of eating these foods, and we’re sure you’re pretty good at avoiding them by now!
But what about normal carbohydrates? We’re talking about your processed flours, refined carbs and starches…
Carbs and starches are converted to sugar and can cause health issues for diabetics
Stay away from those carbs and starches with high GI digits They’re similar to eating a chocolate, as they quickly become sugar in your blood.
Then there’s alcohol…
Why does alcohol leave your
blood sugar sky high? Well, it’s simple; alcohol becomes sugar when your body digests it.
Lastly, diabetics need to avoid eating large quantities of fats
Avoid eating foods that cause your
blood sugar to quickly spike. Eat foods that are good for your system and are a slow release of energy. Get your
diabetes under control and prevent the development of other diseases usually associated with diabetes.
