Tastes are indispensable in the kitchen, and they can add a rich taste to the flat foods. However, not all spices are suitable for consumption for diabetes patients. Some spices could lead to a rapid rise in blood sugar, with health hazards.
Now, let’s talk about the tastes that diabetics need to avoid, and help people enjoy their food while they keep their blood sugar steady.
The following spices are of particular interest to diabetics: (1) sugar and sugar-bearing spices: sugar, red sugar, honey, syrup, etc. with high sugar content will directly cause the blood sugar to rise. Diabetes should therefore be avoided as much as possible.
(ii) Jell-O: Jell-O is a common spice in medium cooking and usually contains higher sugar. Diabetes patients should be aware of their effect on blood sugar when eating sugary vegetables.
(3) Ketchup: The market for tomato sauce tends to add a large amount of sugar to improve sweetness. Diabetes patients, when choosing ketchup, should look carefully at the composition table and, as far as possible, choose a sugar-free or low-sugar version.
(4) Salud sauce: The salad sauce looks healthy, but many types of salad sauce actually contain higher sugar and fat. When diabetics choose salad sauce, they should choose low sugar versions or make their own salad sauce with olive oil and vinegar.
(5) Barbecue sauce: Barbecue sauce usually contains higher sugar and salt. Diabetes patients, when eating barbecues, should control the use of barbecue sauce, or use low sugar barbecue sauce designed for diabetics.
(6) Tastes and chickens: Although they do not contain sugar, they contain high sodium, and excessive intake may affect blood pressure. Diabetes are often associated with high blood pressure and should therefore be used in appropriate quantities. (7) Paprika sauce: Some chili sauce has added sugar to balance spicy. Diabetes patients, when choosing chili sauce, should look at the composition table to ensure that they do not contain additional sugar. (8) Taste packs/favorites: These prepackaged spices usually contain higher sodium and sugar.
Diabetes patients should avoid, to the extent possible, the use of such spices to reduce the impact on blood sugar and blood pressure. For diabetics, low sugar, low sodium, low fat, natural spices should be chosen to avoid high sugar, sodium, fat and artificial additives, so that diabetics can better control blood sugar while enjoying good food.
