Toby Smithson of Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics answered:Carbohydrate containing food will affect blood sugar the most quickly. Examples of carbohydrate containing food include: milk; yogurt; breads; cereals; grains; starchy vegetables like corn, peas, beans and potatoes; and fruit and fruit juices. Carbohydrate containing foods that contain fiber will help slow down the absorption of carbohydrate in the body whereas foods that are simple sugars like sugar, honey, syrup, and candy will absorb quickly into the blood stream giving a quicker rise in blood sugar.
