Processed or Fatty Meats
We’ve already talked about how bad it can be for a diabetic to have processed bacon as part of their diet. It’s mainly due to the fact that processed bacon is not only processed, but fatty meat as well. If you’re a diabetic trying to avoid foods that could make your condition worse, processed or fatty meats should be crossed off the list — as far as regularly consumed foods go.
Some examples of fatty meats include poultry such as chicken if you keep the skin on, beef ribs, pork belly, and more. It’s quite unfortunate that some of the best-tasting cuts are also terrible for diabetics, but that’s just how things go.
At the very least, diabetes is not going to cause too much trouble just because of a diet that goes astray now and again. As a matter of fact, none of the foods on this list are severely off limits. They are simply not a good idea if you’re trying to avoid the effects of diabetes. A balanced diet is crucial, and regularly having processed or fatty meats isn’t very balanced.
