Foods Diabetics Should Probably Stay Away From

12. French Fries

French fries can be found across the world, and it seems as though people can’t get enough of these sticks of potato goodness. And while potatoes themselves are fairly healthy in small doses, eating anything in excess is bad for you – especially when that food is then fried in unhealthy oil. French fries are particularly bad for diabetics as the combination of carbs in the potatoes and trans fats in the oil will cause a huge spike in blood sugar. 

Even a small portion of fries could be detrimental to your blood sugar levels, which is why it’s best to avoid them if possible. Alternatively, make your own healthier and non-fried alternatives.
