Foods Diabetics Should Probably Stay Away From

1. Diet Soda

When diabetics are given the choice between regular soda or diet soda, there’s a very high chance that they’re going to choose diet soda. But it turns out that both have their downsides, and if a diabetic wants to maintain healthy insulin levels, it’s probably best if they don’t drink any soda at all. After all, the American Diabetes Association found that those who drank diet drinks were 67% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. 

Not only that but it’s also been found that diet soda can lead to an increased risk of diabetic retinopathy, which can actually result in blindness for those who already have diabetes.
