Eliminate foods that cause high blood sugar from your diet

High blood sugar results in many health problems and certain foods can cause it to rise.

Constantly high blood sugar can lead to diabetes over time. Simply put, high blood sugar – also called high blood glucose – means you have too much sugar in your blood.

This happens either because your body has too little insulin or your body doesn't work properly in response to insulin. Although it can seem out of control at times, there are ways to manage your blood glucose levels.

In fact, avoiding some of the worst blood sugar foods is a great way to start. Eat This Not That.

Fruit flavored yogurt

Sarah Anzlovar, registered dietitian and owner of Sarah Gold Nutrition, believes that many fruit-flavored yogurts are more loaded with sugar than some desserts.

She advises trying plain yogurt instead, which is high in protein and can help balance blood sugar. To make it tastier, add fresh fruit or seeds to add some fiber.

Dietitians say fiber can also help stabilize blood sugar because even though it's a type of carbohydrate, your body doesn't break it down, so it can't cause a spike in blood sugar.

Processed carbohydrates

According to Melissa Azzaro, registered dietitian, foods with a high glycemic index raise blood sugar faster than foods with a lower glycemic index. These include white bread, rice, potatoes and snacks such as chips and pretzels. However, you don't have to eliminate them completely.

The glycemic index measures food only when eaten alone. So, to reduce their impact on blood sugar, don't eat them alone, but combine them with foods rich in protein and fiber.

Scrambled food

The Cleveland Clinic also says that fried foods can increase the risk of high cholesterol, weight gain and developing type 2 diabetes, while a study published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that increased consumption of fried foods led to an increased risk of diabetes.

Eating fried foods can cause disturbances in blood glucose levels. This type of food is often full of trans fats due to the oil used for frying. According to Foods, trans fats can contribute to insulin resistance, something that can lead to excess blood sugar.

Foods rich in trans fats

If you're watching your blood sugar, you may want to seriously limit your trans fat intake, because according to Scandinavian Journal of Food and Nutrition, trans fat can increase a person's insulin resistance if they have type 2 diabetes. This can directly affect blood sugar because insulin is one of the most important hormones in regulating blood glucose levels.
