Foods Diabetics Should Probably Stay Away From

17. Pre-Packaged Baked Goods

It’s easy to assume that there are no foods for diabetics, but that’s not the case at all. Diabetics can eat most foods in small quantities, and this is also the case when it comes to pastries and sweets. This is especially true if they’re homemade to be low-fat and diabetic-friendly, but not so true if these pastries and sweets are pre-packaged. That’s because these goods are made with extra preservatives to make them last longer. 

Alongside this, pre-packaged baked goods are also full of refined carbohydrates, which then become sugar when they’re inside the body. Of course, this means your body will rely more heavily on insulin if you eat them.
