TCOYD’s resident nutrition expert Janice Baker has a helpful tip for eating smart and taking control of your diabetes – and your diet!

A trip to the grocery store can be overwhelming – so many options and so little nutritional information. Here are five things you can easily avoid to cut down on calories and confusion.

1. Ramen noodle soups – they are high in sodium and fat
2. Regular soda
3. Pastries, cookies, cakes, doughnuts- all are high in sugar, trans/saturated fat and easily overeaten
4. Frozen pot pies and large portion frozen meals, corn dogs- most contain sugar, salt and harmful fats
5. Sausage type deli meats (bologna, salami, pepperoni) – they are packed with sodium and saturated fat
