6. Fried chicken.
It is soul food. Comfort food. Also a fast food place staple. Also food that has to be stayed away from. Just like batter fried fish, fried chicken takes away a good source of protein and makes the dish into a fat and calorie filled meal.
Potatoes, chicken, fish and most of the food mentioned above can be eaten when you have diabetes, but have to be prepared in a different way. Bake it or boil it instead of frying it. Add a lot of pepper and vegetables to your diet and don’t add sugar to your fruit juices.
