The first step to improving your diet is understanding which foods have the biggest impact on your blood sugar. Carbohydrates turn into glucose more quickly as compared to proteins and fats and have the biggest impact on your blood sugar. Therefore, it is important to have portion control with all types of carbohydrates. Often, carbohydrates are referred to as “sugar,” however, carbohydrates include more than sugar. Carbohydrates include both healthy and unhealthy foods, which include starches or grains, dairy, fruit, table sugar, and desserts and sweets. All carbohydrates have an impact on your blood sugar.
