French fries are widely available in fast-food chains and street stalls, becoming a staple in modern fast-paced lifestyles.
To many, fries are a simple, go-to snack—especially when dining out.
But they are not suitable for people with diabetes.
French fries are deep-fried at high temperatures, losing water and becoming highly caloric.
They are also high in saturated fat, especially if fried in reused oil, which negatively affects blood sugar regulation.
Additionally, the starchy content of potatoes turns into glucose quickly after consumption, leading to blood sugar spikes.
For diabetics, overconsumption of fried foods not only leads to excess calorie intake but also increases risks such as weight gain and dyslipidemia (abnormal blood fats).
4. Frozen Dumplings
Quick-frozen dumplings are popular for their convenience, especially for busy people who see them as a simple meal option.
However, these dumplings often contain refined flour, additives, and high amounts of salt. They are also rich in carbohydrates, oil, and preservatives.
