Sugary Condiments and Sauces
Condiments and sauces like ketchup, barbecue sauce, and salad dressings often contain high amounts of added sugars and unhealthy fats. These can significantly impact blood sugar levels. Diabetic individuals should opt for homemade or low-sugar alternatives, such as using herbs and spices for flavoring or choosing sugar-free options.
Processed Snacks
Processed snacks like chips, pretzels, and crackers are typically high in refined carbohydrates, unhealthy fats, and sodium. These snacks offer little nutritional value and can cause blood sugar spikes. Diabetics should choose healthier snack options like fresh fruits, vegetables with hummus, nuts, or homemade trail mix with unsalted nuts and seeds.
