what not to eat in blood sugar?

1. Sugary Foods

• Candies, chocolates, cookies, cakes, pastries

• Sweetened desserts like ice cream, puddings

• Honey, syrup, or sugar in tea/coffee

These cause rapid spikes in blood sugar.

2. Sugary Beverages

• Soft drinks (cola, soda)

• Sweetened fruit juices and energy drinks

• Sweetened tea or coffee drinks

Liquid sugar raises blood sugar very quickly.

3. Refined Carbs

• White bread, white rice, pasta made with refined flour

• Instant noodles, white flour tortillas

• Pastries and baked goods made with white flour

These are low in fiber and turn into sugar fast.

4. Fried and Fatty Foods

• French fries, chips, deep-fried snacks

• Fried chicken or fried fast foods

• Foods high in trans fats or hydrogenated oils

They can increase insulin resistance and affect heart health.

5. High-Sugar Fruits (Eat Sparingly)

• Mangoes, grapes, bananas, lychee

• Dried fruits like dates, raisins, figs

Natural sugar can still raise blood glucose if eaten in large amounts.

6. Full-Fat Dairy & Processed Meats

• Whole milk, full-fat cheese, cream

• Sausages, hot dogs, and processed meats

High in saturated fat, which can affect insulin sensitivity.

Tips

• Check labels for added sugar and refined carbs.

• Focus on low-glycemic index (GI) foods like whole grains, vegetables, and protein.

• Portion control is very important—even healthy foods can raise sugar if eaten too much.
