TRIBUNPAPUABARAT.COM – Choosing the right foods and drinks is important for diabetics.
Choosing the wrong food actually worsens blood sugar levels in the body.
Reported Healthline, carbohydrates, protein, and fat are macronutrients that provide energy to your body.
By far carbohydrates have the biggest effect on your blood sugar.
This is because carbohydrates are broken down into sugar, or glucose, and absorbed into your bloodstream.
Carbohydrates include starch, sugar, and fiber.
However, fiber cannot be digested and absorbed by your body, so it doesn’t raise your blood sugar.
When diabetics eat too many carbohydrates at one time, blood sugar levels will increase and is very dangerous.
Over time, high levels can damage your body’s nerves and blood vessels, which can lead to heart disease, kidney disease, and other serious health conditions.
Maintaining a low carbohydrate intake can help prevent spikes in blood sugar and greatly reduce the risk of diabetes complications.
