Foods to avoid with Insulin-Dependent Diabetes

For insulin-dependent diabetes, what matters is how quickly an ingredient raises blood glucose and how easily it can be dosed for. Maltose, malt extract and high-fructose corn syrup are flagged for fast glycaemic impact, while some sweeteners carry caution over effects on insulin response.
