WHAT SNACKS SHOULD PEOPLE WITH DIABESTES AVOID?
When consumed regularly, some foods and nutrients can throw your blood sugar off balance. Or they can contribute to other health issues like high blood pressure. Examples of snacks that people with diabetes should limit or avoid include:

Those high in added sugar, such as pastries, cookies, and candy

Fried foods, such as french fries, fried chicken, and many fast foods

Foods high in salt, such as chips, some types of crackers, and other packaged snacks

Sugary beverages, such as juice, soda, and regular sports and energy drinks

High-glycemic fruits, like bananas or raisins, that cause bigger blood sugar spikes than lower-glycemic fruits like berries
