Once we are diagnosed with either Type 1 or 2 we are advised among many other to say ‘no’ to sugar!
It irks at times to wonder its validity, while taking medication continuously to control our sugar level, and consuming rice, bread and the like which are also ‘sugar’ though a little away in the digestion process to becoming sucrose, will it make much harm by adding a little sugar to start the day more enjoyable with our morning tea?
The pancreas of a normal adult contains approximately 200 units of insulin and the average daily secretion in healthy individuals ranges from 30 to 50 units.

Let us begin thinking of this issue as well of the probabilities of being able to bring it under the control of medications!
NO to sugar. Reduce carbs wherever possible. Sugar, with the highest glycemic index, spikes the BS level immediately and the metabolic rate takes that much longer to bring down the BS level.
