Diabetes warning: The ‘healthy foods’ that can increase your blood sugar levels – expert

“Eating many bananas can spike a surge in your blood glucose levels especially in people who tend to be carb-sensitive,” Ms Komova said.

However, Diabetes UK notes that the yellow fruit is “still better” for your long-term health than a slice of cake.

Brown rice
The expert said: “It’s considered one of the healthiest rice due to its high fibre content. Brown rice is also rich in carbs that account for 40g.

“The high carb quantities in brown rice are easily converted into glucose after digestion which can trigger a rapid increase in blood sugar.”
