Good Muffins Vs. Bad Muffins
Muffins are another quick-grab item that diabetics should avoid. While whole-grain muffins include important vitamins, minerals, and fiber, white flour muffins are plain bad news. If you can’t fathom a morning without a muffin, go for whole grain, which may help lessen the chance of diabetics’ glucose tolerance worsening, according to a 2012 study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Fruit Smoothies Can Cause Spikes In Blood Sugar
A fruit smoothie may appear to be a nutritious and pleasant snack or breakfast alternative, but diabetics should be especially cautious, if not avoid them entirely. This is because the sugar and carbohydrate content of the blended drink increases with each addition, which is harmful for blood sugar levels. “Smoothies can be large whacks of carbs and sugar, especially if there’s no protein or healthy fat that acts similarly to fiber to slow digestion and prevent blood sugar spikes,” explains Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN.
