Moreover, it was also advised by the CDC that among the 30 million people who are suffering from diabetes in the U.S., the majority (27 million) are dealing with type 2 diabetes. In this type of diabetes, the body of the patient is not equipped to cope appropriately with glucose. Thus, an individual with type 2 diabetes must be extremely cautious, when consuming foods that are capable of shooting up their blood sugar levels.

In many cases, it is easy to determine which food item has excessive sugar. This includes food such as white chocolate, candy, cakes, or desserts. Interestingly, the sugar that naturally occurs in fruits and vegetables must also be taken into consideration by the patient. Moreover, they must also be wary of consuming foods rich in carbohydrates, which come with high glycemic loads.
