Foods Diabetics Should Probably Stay Away From

19. Processed Meats

No, diabetics don’t have to become vegetarian. But if you’re already diabetic or in the pre-diabetic stage, it’s probably best to cut processed meats out of your diet. This notion has been backed by a study undertaken by Harvard University. they found that eating processed meats has the ability to increase your chances of developing type 2 diabetes by a whopping 19%. That’s because these processed meats are extremely high in preservatives and salt. 

Fresh meat is perfectly healthy for diabetics to eat, but processed meat is a no-go. This is especially true as it’s also been found that processed meats can also increase the body’s resistance to insulin.
