A member asked:
What can people eat that can cause diabetes other than candy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Simple carbohydrates: If your body does not work to digest, like in the case of proteins or complex carbohydrates it just goes straight into stored calories or floats in your blood. So even things like starches from potatoes, bread and corn can cause an issue.
