The Truth about Sugar and Diabetes

The Truth about Sugar and Diabetes

Sugars are present naturally in fruits, vegetables and dairy products. However, food manufacturers or we tend to sweeten the food and beverages by adding in additional sugars or sweeteners to further enhance the tastes. Added sugar can be found in a variety of forms such as the most commonly used white sugar, caster sugar used for baking or the hidden sugar used for sauces, ready-to-eat cereals and drinks. The debate about sugar and health typically revolves around the added sugar.

If I have diabetes, can I eat sugar?

Uncontrolled diabetes may lead to severe complications, but it does not mean you need to leave sugar out of your diet completely. Occasional sweets or desserts are fine when it is part of a healthy, balanced diet.

So how much sugar can I take?

A great goal would be to reduce and limit the intake of added sugar from processed foods, white sugar or sugar added into cooking. The goal should be about 25 grams of sugar a day, which equates to around 5 teaspoons a day.
