7 “Healthy” Foods That Can Spike Your Blood Sugar | Diabetes Diet | Dr Ritesh Yadav

DESCRIPTION Can healthy foods still spike your blood sugar? This video explains 7 commonly eaten foods that may raise blood glucose depending on their form, portion size and meal combination: oats, cornflakes and breakfast cereals, brown bread, poha, sweet potato, fruit juice and dates. We discuss oats processing, instant oats vs steel-cut oats, serving size, whole grains, fibre, carbohydrates, whole fruit vs fruit juice, smoothies, dried fruit, glucose response and diabetes-friendly meals. You’ll learn why a food being “healthy” does not mean you can eat unlimited quantities, why whole fruit and fruit juice are different, and how protein, fibre and overall meal composition can influence blood sugar. If you have diabetes, prediabetes, insulin resistance, high blood sugar or are trying to improve your metabolic health, this evidence-based guide will help you understand carbohydrates without unnecessarily fearing healthy foods. ________________________________________ TIMESTAMPS Suggested chapters — replace with actual edit timings after final cut. 00:00 Can healthy foods spike blood sugar? 01:07 Healthy does not always mean low glucose 02:30 Form and processing- how it affects blood sugars? 05:40 Portion size- how it affects blood sugars? 07:07 Concentration and form- how it affects blood sugars? 09:40 What actually determines your glucose response? 10:27 What should you do if you have diabetes? ________________________________________ REFERENCES 1.
