You’re probably not surprised to see these on this list. Energy drinks are designed to give you a burst of energy, and they do this by pumping the drinks full of sugar, caffeine, and other additives. As a diabetic, you want to avoid any burst of anything, which is why you should avoid energy drinks at all costs. This has been backed up by science, and one study found that a single energy drink can increase your blood glucose levels by 30%.
Not only that, but some energy drinks companies don’t reveal every single ingredient in their drinks, which makes them even more dangerous for those who need to monitor what they’re putting in their bodies.
