Diabetes and Sugar
The American Diabetes Association now notes that it is the total amount of carbohydrate that you eat that raises blood glucose (sugar) levels, not the specific type of carbohydrate. People with diabetes can fit occasional sweets into their food choices as long as they substitute them for other carbohydrate-containing foods or adjust their diabetes medication to compensate.
