It’s important to note that there are no foods that are strictly “bad” or “evil”, but not every food is suitable for every goal. If your goal is improved health by controlling your blood sugar and warding off full onset diabetes, then there are going to be foods that are best avoided.

Generally speaking, you will want to avoid foods high in sugar as well as foods high in simple carbohydrates like the ones made from white flour or white starches. These foods lead to high blood sugar increases which usually only leave you feeling tired and drained of energy. It’s a cycle that’s better avoided than experienced.

Thankfully, there’s no need to rely on these foods to build your pre-diabetic diet. There are plenty of great alternatives to choose from that will make it much easier to not only build a great pre-diabetic diet, but maintain it for many years to come!
