Foods to Avoid as a Diabetic

Diabetics should avoid sugary sweets, as these foods will cause a diabetic's blood sugar level to spike. Diabetics should count the grams of carbohydrates that they ingest with each meal, and have an idea of how quickly these carbs will affect their blood sugar. To be able to do this, get the list of Glycemic Index of common foods, which is widely avialable online. On the list, be careful to choose the foods with Glycemic Index below 60. Adding some of the "good" fats, like olive oil ot tree nut oils, to a meal can help to reduce the amount of carbohydrates that will be absorbed to the blood.
