SUGAR IN THE BODY: When sugar enters the bloodstream our body releases insulin to counteract the blood sugar spike. The insulin helps remove the sugar from the blood to bring our blood sugar levels back to a “normal” state.

Learn More »When we think about sugar we need to picture our body as a roller coaster. When we have sugar, we are up, we are bumpin’, movin’, shakin’ doin’ and when we stop eating that sugar we crash down in a scary, heart pounding, hands shaking, sweating type of way. Put that s*** on repeat, add more sugar (because you’re now an addict and NEED more), and experience more extreme highs and lows. This is the cycle our mental and physical health rips through as we eat sugar on a regular basis. Okay, so maybe your addiction isn’t that serious, but I have been there. I have been half way through a road trip realizing I had just bought out the entire gas station’s 5 cent candy bins and I needed to make a change fast… **slowly rolls down the window, and tosses candy into the depths of Highway 6** I am serious, it’s bad and it’s proven that s**** (yes, sugar shall not be named) is absolutely terrible for our physical and mental health. Y’all have probably noticed by now that I am not a pusher, I don’t believe that a one type of “diet” program fits all, I don’t believe in miracle products, or fad based programming, but I do believe that sugar is an absolute f*** boy when it comes to our health.

A healthy type 2 diabetes diet includes healthy carbs like fruits, veggies, and whole grains; low-fat dairy; heart-healthy fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna, and sardines; and good fats like nuts, avocados, and olive oil. But feeling your best when you have diabetes isn't just about choosing the right foods, it’s also about limiting or avoiding foods that can spike your blood sugar and increase your risk of complications. “It’s all about moderation and making careful food choices for overall balanced blood sugar control,” says Amy Kimberlain, RD, CDE, a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and a Wellness Dietitian at Baptist Health South Florida. “You want to eat a balanced, healthful diet, and avoid refined carbohydrates, which raise blood sugar. You also want to avoid the saturated fat found in fatty meats, full-fat dairy, and fried foods, as people with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of getting heart disease.” A healthy diet for diabetes will also help you manage your weight or lose weight if you’re overweight, which is important, because losing just 10 to 15 pounds may help you prevent and manage high blood sugar, according to the American Diabetes Association. Research shows that losing some weight can also help improve insulin sensitivity, meaning you’re less resistant and better able to respond to insulin, Kimberlain explains. A small study published in June 2017 in Nutrition & Diabetes showed sustained enhanced insulin sensitivity in successful female weight-loss maintainers compared with those who had no history of weight loss. To avoid weight gain and keep your blood sugar under control, limit or avoid the following 10 foods.
