Anything Loaded with Sugar
We talked about cookies and cakes and ice cream, mainly due to many of those products being filled to the brim with sugar. The American diet is surprisingly loaded with sugar — even white bread has more in common with cake than the bread found in places around the world. Considering that diabetes causes issues with the body’s ability to turn food into energy, high-sugar foods are extremely dangerous for diabetics.
It’s unfortunate that we have to bar just about everything loaded with sugar, but if there’s a consolation, it’s how cakes and pastries can be versatile depending on the situation. For example, all sorts of low-fat and non-sugar options can be used to recreate many of the most popular sugary cakes and pastries. You can even go for low-fat, no-sugar ice cream to ensure you don’t miss out on your favorite dessert while simultaneously living guilt free. Diabetes can be awful to those trying to avoid it specifically due to the many food restrictions, but at least you still have choices.
The fortunate thing about anything loaded with sugar is there are sugar substitutes out there that can help.
