Dangerous Sugars for Diabetes: What to Avoid

Added Sugars: Limit foods with high added sugar content, as they can lead to blood sugar spikes.

High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS): Common in processed foods and sugary beverages, it can impact insulin sensitivity.

Sweets and Desserts: Be cautious with candies, pastries, and desserts, as they often contain concentrated sugars.

Regular Soda: Avoid regular sodas with high levels of fructose-based sugars that can rapidly raise blood sugar.

Honey and Agave Nectar: While natural, these can still raise blood sugar levels and should be used sparingly.

Cane Sugar and Syrups: Minimize intake of refined sugars like cane sugar and syrups found in various sweetened products.

Watch Portion Sizes: Even natural sugars in fruits can impact blood sugar, so be mindful of portion sizes for better control.
