Post Reply: Managing Diabetes

<blockquote><div class="quotetitle">Quote from <a class="profile-link highlight-moderator" href="#">Omari Kitula</a> on February 4, 2025, 3:01 pm</div>Managing diabetes requires a careful balance of diet, exercise, and medication. While it’s essential to focus on foods that stabilise blood sugar, it’s equally important to identify and avoid those that can spike glucose levels.

&nbsp;

Some recent studies have indicated that eating more ultra-processed foods is linked to higher rates of cardiovascular disease, obesity, sleep disorders, anxiety and depression.

&nbsp;

Ultra-processed foods are typically higher in added sugars and sodium, but synthetic flavors, added colors, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners and other artificial ingredients may be in part to blame. Here’s a list of processed foods that every diabetes patient, especially with Type 2 should steer clear of to maintain optimal health.

&nbsp;

1. Sugary breakfast cereals

2. White bread and packaged baked goods

3. Sugary drinks and fruit juices

4. Frozen dinners and ready-to-eat meals

5. Chips and savory snacks

6. Instant noodles and processed pasta</blockquote><br>
