The choice of our everyday diet is a powerful regulator of our body’s metabolism. Our morning breakfast platter full of bacons and donuts can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, a slice of few slices of white bread during dinner can also create a massive harm to the body’s metabolism. Diabetes is not only caused by the type of food we eat, but also by the way we consume certain food items. Here is a list of top seven foods that are highly linked with the risk of Type 2 diabetes:
1. Chicken: A steady consumption of chicken can double the chance of developing Type 2 diabetes. Chicken when consumed as a frozen food item or in deep fried form can pose serious threat to the body.

2. Red meat: Red meat is high in saturated fat and when consumed in excess can lead to the development of diabetes. Red meat and processed meat rich in dietary fat also lead to the risk of heart diseases. Bacon, ham and beef steaks are some forms of red meat that should be avoided to cut the risk of diabetes.
