Potato chips contain carbohydrates in the form of starch. Potatoes, a popular food made into chips, have the highest starch content of any food.

Any time you consume carbohydrates, it can increase your blood sugar levels.

Carbohydrate control is great for people with diabetes and is also a healthy habit for those with the disease.

Excessive carbohydrate consumption will increase your blood sugar levels and hinder weight loss. Therefore, people with diabetes should not eat too many French fries. People with diabetes are at higher risk of heart disease, so controlling their fat intake is just as important as watching their carbohydrate intake.

If you are concerned about your blood sugar, you should monitor your diet and try to cut your carb intake to 40-60% of your daily calories. Consuming large amounts of carbohydrates over a long period of time has been linked to an increased risk of diabetes.
