Even items that you might think of as “the worst" could be occasional treats -- in tiny amounts. But they won’t help you nutrition-wise, and it’s easiest to manage your diabetes if you mainly stick to the “best” options.

These foods can cause blood sugar spikes or increase your risk of diabetes complications.

Whether your diabetes diagnosis is a new chapter in your life or you’ve been showing diabetes who’s boss for years, there is always room for new fabulous diabetic-friendly foods to add to your ingredients list.
