Soft drinks, candies, sweetened teas, syrups, and many dried or tropical fruits (such as lychee, longan, and watermelon) can rapidly spike blood sugar levels. Over time, this can make insulin less effective and lead to chronic fatigue, thirst, and weight changes.

2. Refined Grains

White rice, white bread, and pastries lose most of their nutrients and fiber during processing, leaving behind simple carbohydrates that quickly convert to sugar in the bloodstream. Choosing whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, or oats can help slow digestion and maintain more stable glucose levels.

3. High-Fat Meats and Full-Fat Dairy Products

Saturated fats found in processed meats, fried foods, and certain dairy items can increase the risk of both diabetes and heart disease. Health organizations, including the American Diabetes Association, suggest keeping saturated fat intake below 7% of total daily calories.

Common high-fat foods to limit include:

  • Fatty cuts of beef, lamb, or pork
  • Processed meats such as bacon, sausage, or cold cuts
  • Fried chicken or breaded meats
