Foods Diabetics Should Probably Stay Away From

37. Gluten-Free Food

In recent years, there’s been a huge increase in gluten-free food in grocery stores. Of course, this is a great development for those who are allergic or intolerant to gluten but it has made finding food as a gluten-free diabetic even harder. That’s because gluten-free food are generally extremely high in carbohydrates to make up for the lack of gluten, which means that diabetics need to be careful and monitor their carb intake even closer. 

This doesn’t mean that you have to avoid gluten-free food altogether. It just means that you need to be conscious of how much you can realistically eat without it affecting your blood sugar level too much.
