Answer 2

Answer 3

For almost every person with diabetes, the answer is yes! Eating a piece of cake made with sugar will raise your blood glucose level. So will eating corn on the cob, a tomato sandwich, or lima beans. The truth is that sugar has gotten a bad reputation. People with diabetes can and do eat sugar. In your body, it becomes glucose, but so do the other foods mentioned above.
With sugary foods, the rule is moderation. Eat too much, and 1) you'll send your blood glucose level up higher than you expected; 2) you'll fill up but without the nutrients that come with vegetables and grains; and 3) you'll gain weight. So, don't pass up a slice of birthday cake. Instead, eat a little less bread or potato, and replace it with the cake. Taking a brisk walk to burn some calories is also always helpful.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 5

Not if you want to be healthy. Too much sugar an kill a diabetic, however there are times when a diabetic is in trouble when a pinch of sugar is called for and can bring him out of it. Generally sugar is precisely what a diabetic had best avoid if he values life.

Answer 6

Check out the links, they have a wealth of information that is essential for you to know. The first link is the American Diabetes Foundation. I included the link for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation because I don't know what age group you are.
In anser to your question, some sugar is unavoidable because carbs are sugar and there are carbs in everything, to some degree. But my doctor told me to avoid things like refined sugars. No cakes, ice cream, candy bars, etc. That's the bad sugars and can hurt a diabetic. Take it easy on the carbs.

Answer 7

Yes, you can.


Take it in very moderate amounts. My father is diabetic and still enjoys a piece of cake or a piece of candy every now and then.



You just need to make sure you're not taking in too much sugar.

Answer 8

If your diabetes is in control, you can have, or if your glucose level is down, BUT in moderate amounts. Following a good diet is important. Sugar is not the only source of sugar. You have to watch your carbohydrates as well. Remember, uncontrolled diabetes leads to many complications., blindness, renal failure, amputations...Would you rather have sugar or go blind? Control your glucose levels. It is of the utmost importance. Monitoring your glucose levels before and after you eat helps you have better control.

Answer 9

If you have diabetes, the sugar in food cannot be managed by the pancreas for its inadequate ability to secrete insulin required to break sugar into glucose needed for energy in body. So avoid sugar in food or take sufficient insulin with doctors supervision.

Answer 10

well, actually you can eat food that also contian sugar in them but in very calculated degrees. Being in a country where every meal is with rice (white rice commonly). Thankfully though he drinks this ampalaya tea that contain plant insulin after ever meal and thats how he keeps his blood sugar level normally.

I recommended it to him because I wanted to keep him off the chromium which does thesame thing anyway. The only thing about chromium picolinate that worries me is if overdosed- patients may have rectal failure. Beside the tea is a natural way to keep his blood sugar levels in check.

Eating right plays a big role in controlling your blood sugar level, which is your first defense against diabetic complications. Watch the amount of fats, carbohydrates and proteins you eat. In general, stick to a low-fat, high-fiber diet to have better blood sugar control.

Bear in mind that factors such as age, gender and activity level affect your metabolism. It is important to consult with your dietitian or diabetes doctor for the meal plan that suits you.

It's a good idea to fortify our diet with vitamins & supplements to achieve blood sugar balance. Ampalaya (or Bittermelon) tea is a good add-on to your low-fat, high-fiber diet. In tea or capsule form, it can help control elevated blood sugar levels when taken after every meal.

Remember, even before doctors decide to put you on medication, which is expensive and can bear side effects, they will assess first if diet (and exercise) can help you control your blood sugar level.

What I hate about sugarless/ 0%sugar products is that they usually contain Phenylalanine- which can be cancerous. As my father-in-law said... it's your choice- either to have a bad complications of diabetes or be a cancer patient.

But you know what! I'm a parent too, and I stumbled upon the nickjr.com- nutrition portion charts for kids. So, If you want to know the amount the potion sizes of the food your gunna eat check out nickjr.com. Its almost thesame as the one in the diabetic pamphlet my father in law has.
Example: Lean meat / poultry= as big as a deck of cards

And to think about it, we all should have this kind of portion. One doctor has told me, there is no such thing as a "diabetic diet". Its just really about eating healthy. Good luck!

Answer 11

Yeah,surely, you can use sugar inspite of that you have Diabetes.
New studies show that increasing the dose of insulin is beter than avoiding suar becuase insulin regulates blood lipids together with blood glucose.Avoiding sugar will help you lowerring your blood glucose level but not lipid level.By increasing isulin dose you will have both of them regulated.
Thanks.
