Foods to Avoid

Foods to Avoid (especially for people with diabetes):

The foods that a diabetic person should limit are nearly the same as people without diabetes. However, there are certain kinds of foods that diabetics should especially look out for. These foods are foods with/are:
  • high glucose
  • high sodium
  • high fat
  • processed
Specific foods that diabetics (and anybody else) should eat sparingly:
  • Chocolate
  • Cheese (esp. cottage cheese)
  • White rice
  • White bread
  • White sugar
  • Starchy vegetables (esp. potatoes)
  • Certain types of fruit (dates, pineapple, cantaloupe, mango)
  • Sodas
  • High-fat dressings
These lists only provide a guideline for eating healthy for a diabetic person. This is in no way a perfect list. We are not telling you that you should never eat this type of food ever. If you remember eating the right foods and eating the right portions, eating some cake now and then isn't the worst thing in the world.
