Foods Diabetics Should Probably Stay Away From

18. Flavored Oatmeal

You might be wondering what oatmeal is doing on this list. After all, it’s generally considered to be one of the best breakfast options for those with diabetes as it’s full of all the good stuff and is a slow-release food that will help to maintain your blood sugar levels. However, flavored oatmeal is a whole different story. This type of oatmeal is full of added extras, such as extra sugars and preservatives. 

Of course, if you don’t like the taste of regular oatmeal, you can flavor this food yourself using fresh and natural ingredients such as homemade granola, nut butters, and diabetic-friendly toppings.
