26 Best and Worst Foods for Diabetics

NOT THAT!:

 Soda


You may already know that soda isn’t best bets for diabetics, but you may not realize just how damaging the beverage can be. “Within the first 10 minutes of drinking a soda, about 10 teaspoons of sugar hit the system. It’s rapidly absorbed and signals an insulin release, which is a problem for people with diabetes since they have insulin resistance,” Jacobson explains, adding, “Diet sodas aren’t much better, either. Sweeteners are 200 to 600 times sweeter than sugar and signal an insulin release from the pancreas. So even if you’re not drinking straight-up sugar, you’re still signaling a release and perpetuating that dysfunctional physiological response.”
