10 Foods to Avoid on a Diabetic Diet
If you’re on a diabetic diet, you’ve probably been told that sugar is a no-no. But for diabetics, the truth is not as simple as “allowed foods” or “forbidden foods.” More important than sugar content of any one food is the overall balance of foods you’re eating. Focus on avoiding too many carbohydrates of any kind. Eat smaller meals. When you do eat carbs, choose the more densely nutritious complex carbohydrates and eat them with protein at the same time. The following list of foods to avoid on a diabetic diet is not a hard-and-fast list, but a guideline to help you limit your intake of foods likely to increase your blood-sugar levels.

Healthy carbs fill you up and are highly nutritious to boot, with plenty of vitamins and protein, furnishing many of the extra calories you need to provide nutrition for your unborn baby. There’s one catch: If you have gestational diabetes, it’s especially important to check with your doctor about your carbohydrate intake, since you may need to moderate your starchy foods to control your blood sugar.
