NOT THAT!:
Fries
It’s not that you can’t eat potatoes, you just have to be cognizant of how they’re prepared and how much you consume. French fries, for example, are a no-go. “Fried foods are high in simple carbs and fat, which is a tough combination for diabetics. It will raise blood sugar quickly and keep it high for a long time because the fat takes awhile to digest,” Zanini explains. Boiled or baked potatoes, on the other hand, are safe to eat in moderation. Stick to a ½ cup serving, and pair with a protein and non-starchy vegetable to keep blood-sugar levels even-keeled.
