Ice cream: All types of ice cream contain a large amount of sugar, either added directly or from condensed milk and cream. The sugar in ice cream is mainly glucose and fructose, which are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, causing a sudden rise in blood sugar. This treat contains almost no fiber but is high in fat, which can lead to obesity – a factor that negatively affects diabetes.

Sweet bread: Many people choose sweet bread as a convenient snack when hungry. However, sweet bread, especially white bread made from refined flour, is low in fiber and has a high glycemic index (GI), which can easily lead to a spike in blood sugar. This makes it difficult for the body to produce enough insulin.

French fries: People with diabetes should prioritize green vegetables like broccoli and spinach instead of starchy vegetables like potatoes and pumpkin. Potatoes have a high glycemic index, and when deep-fried, their calorie content increases, along with their glycemic index. Eating these foods in large quantities can destabilize blood sugar.

Grilled dried squid: While the taste of grilled dried squid is delicious and appealing, it's often marinated with spices and high in salt. This process can increase the amount of carbohydrates (carbs), which are converted into glucose and quickly raise blood sugar levels. Processed dried squid is easily digested and absorbed, which can negatively affect blood sugar, blood pressure, and weight.

Flavored yogurt: Yogurt with cheese, jam, added sugar, syrup, or flavorings can quickly raise blood sugar due to its high sugar content. Yogurt contains probiotics (beneficial bacteria) that contribute to balancing the gut microbiome. However, people with diabetes should choose Greek yogurt or plain yogurt combined with unsalted nuts to minimize the impact on blood sugar levels.
