Most foods may be part of your diet when you have diabetes, but eating certain types while limiting others may help support healthy blood glucose levels and reduce your chances of developing other chronic diseases.
Certain foods and drinks may raise blood glucose and insulin levels and promote inflammation. These effects may increase your risk of prediabetes and diabetes.
Currently, nearly 11 percent of people in the United States have type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020 to 2025 report that 35 percent of American adults are prediabetic.
Having a healthy, balanced diet may help many people manage diabetes symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.
In today’s video, we will delve deeper into 10 foods that we must avoid to manage high blood sugar.

✍️ Summary:
White Bread
White bread, a staple in many diets, significantly impacts blood sugar levels due to its high glycemic index and low fiber content. Refined flour in white bread typically contains a high amount of simple carbohydrates, with a 100-gram serving providing about 49 grams of carbs, most of which are starches.
When you consume white bread, your digestive system rapidly converts the starches into glucose, leading to a swift rise in blood sugar levels. This surge triggers the pancreas to release insulin, a hormone that helps cells absorb glucose for energy. However, when blood sugar levels are consistently high-often a result of frequent consumption of high-GI foods like white bread-the body's cells may become less responsive to insulin, a condition known as insulin resistance. Over time, this may lead to higher insulin needs and may set the stage for type 2 diabetes.
Fruit Juice
When you consume whole fruits, the fiber within helps slow down the digestion process, leading to a gradual release of sugars (primarily fructose) into the bloodstream. This slow absorption helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and keeps you feeling full longer. However, in the case of fruit juice, the absence of fiber allows for the rapid absorption of sugar. For instance, a typical 8-ounce (240-milliliter) serving of fruit juice may contain up to 30 grams of sugar, comparable to that of a soda.
This high concentration of fructose is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream when you drink fruit juice. Once absorbed, fructose travels to the liver, where it is converted into glucose and other compounds. A sudden influx of fructose may overwhelm the liver's processing capacity, leading to increased blood sugar levels and the conversion of excess sugars into fat.
Pastries and Sweets
Starting with the refined carbohydrates, pastries such as cakes, cookies, and doughnuts are usually made from white flour, which, like white bread, has been stripped of its natural fiber during the refining process. In the context of pastries and sweets, the lack of fiber means that the body rapidly digests and absorbs the refined carbohydrates, converting them quickly into glucose.
Moreover, a typical medium-sized pastry may contain anywhere from 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates, mostly in the form of refined sugars and starches. These refined sugars are known for their high glycemic index. This means they are absorbed quickly and lead to rapid increases in blood sugar levels. Furthermore, the fats present in pastries, particularly trans fats and saturated fats, contribute to the problem. They slow down the digestion process. This delay may result in a prolonged period of high blood sugar.
