The #1 food on the list is instant oatmeal. Oatmeal is a popular breakfast option for most people. Steel-cut oats are a great choice as they are rich in fiber. And fiber helps slow down the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. However, instant oats are a different story. These are highly processed, which means they are digested faster, and the blood sugar increases faster as well. Also, instant oatmeal often has added sugar and other ingredients, so it’s a great possibility that you’ll consume too much of them at one time.

#2 is fruit juices. Fruit juice is often considered a healthy option. As much as we think of fruit juice as healthy, they are primarily sugar. Its effects on blood sugar spikes are similar to other sugary drinks, such as coke or energy drinks. And in some cases, fruit juice is even higher in sugar and carbs than any other sugary drink! As a general rule, eating whole fruit is healthier than drinking fruit juice or fruit smoothies.

#3 on the list – flavored coffee drinks. If you're a fan of flavored coffee drinks, you should understand that it’s more like a liquid dessert rather than a healthy beverage. Flavored coffee drinks are also loaded with carbs. Even ‘light’ versions contain enough carbs to significantly raise your blood sugar levels.

#4 is honey, agave nectar, and maple syrup. When people with diabetes try to avoid blood sugar spikes, they often try to minimize their intake of white table sugar, candies, cookies, and pies. Instead, they choose honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup. Even though these sweeteners aren’t highly processed, they contain as many carbs as white sugar. Your best strategy is to avoid all forms of sugar and use natural low-carb sweeteners instead, such as stevia.

#5 on the list is foods containing trans fats. Trans fats are unsaturated fats that have been chemically altered to increase their stability. They are often added to products to extend their shelf life. Trans fats are found in margarine, peanut butter, baked goods, spreads, creamers, and frozen dinners. To avoid trans fats, it’s important to read labels carefully.

#6 – White pasta, rice, and bread. Once again: carbs are the nemesis of diabetes. White bread, white rice, and pasta should all be avoided if you have diabetes. These refined carbs are not only processed and have no nutritional value, but they also significantly increase blood sugar levels. Instead, try to pick a higher fiber option such as pasta made from beans or lentils, brown rice, and whole-grain, high-fiber bread.

#7 is french fries. Those crispy fries are not only high in carbs that raise blood sugar levels, but they are also fried in unhealthy oils that may promote inflammation and increase the risk of heart disease. Potatoes themselves are already high in carbs: a medium white potato contains approximately 169 calories and 37 grams of carbs. While a medium-sized serving of fast-food french fries has 427 calories and 56 grams of carbs.
