Cut Out Or Moderate Most Cereals
Breakfast cereals that contain whole grains and fiber can be diabetic-friendly. Cereals with refined grains and high sugar content are a disaster waiting to happen. Diabetes UK warns diabetics to avoid high-sugar cereals like Frosties, which contain 37 grams of sugar per serving. Palinski-Wade suggests whole-grain, low-sugar cereals. Fibre-rich brands, such as bran, help the body metabolize sugar and maintain insulin levels. Some cereals, like Cheerios and Shredded Wheat, should be consumed in moderation. They may not be high in sugar, but they are high in carbohydrates.

Jams And Jellies Are More Sugar Than Fruit
Fruit has natural sugars that can aid diabetics. Jellies and jams, on the other hand, contain more sugar than fruit. They are preserved by boiling sugar with fresh fruit, and one tablespoon of jam contains around ten grams of sugar. According to certified dietitian Nicole Anziani, spreading jam on bread adds sugar to more refined sugars. Don’t be misled by the “no sugar” claim. According to Diabetes UK, some firms will substitute fructose (another type of sugar) for sucrose and label the jam “sugar-free.” Make your own diabetic jam or jelly at home.
