All-purpose flour, white sugar, and refined rice are examples of highly processed carbohydrates that have no nutritional benefit. Foods heavy in calories and sugar that provide little to no nutritious value are to blame; consume them in moderation or steer clear of them entirely. Foods with a high glycemic index can cause a rapid increase in both blood sugar and insulin levels (glycemic index). Type 2 diabetes results. Eating fewer carbohydrates that have been processed and more grains that are good for you can help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.
2. Sugary drinks
Type 2 diabetes has been associated with drinking sugary beverages such as lemonade, sugary teas, and soda. Insulin resistance is increased by both consuming a lot of sugar and gaining weight. According to a study that was published in Diabetes Care in 2010, consuming one to two sugary drinks daily was associated with a 26% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to consuming less than one sugary drink every month.

According to research conducted in 2011, eating one meal per day consisting of red meat consisting of three ounces or the size of a deck of cards was associated with a 19% greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Even though the amount of processed red meat sold was cut in half, overall sales were up 51%.
