Can a diabetic consume sugar

Answer 1

The answer to this question depends on two things: what kind of sugar, and what kind of Diabetes.

If you mean processed sugar, than there's no need to ever eat that, really. You can choose to in moderation (talk to your doctor about the best time of day or circumstance for you), but your body has no need for processed (white) sugar, and it's really not helpful for anyone's body.

If you mean natural sugars, than yes, your body needs them. However, your body can make them just fine from healthier forms of carbohydrates like whole-grains and fiber-rich fruit (eaten again, in moderation).

As for the second question (what kind of diabetes), it matters greatly if you are a type-1 on insulin or a type-2 (who might be diet-controlled, medicine-controlled, or perhaps on insulin to help control). Type-1s really should limit their white-sugar intake to right before exercise. Type-2s should work it into their meal plans.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sugar is the fuel that makes your body run. It comes from both various sugars and starches. The problem with diabetics is they have no way to utilize this sugar properly without insulin injections (Type 1) or medications to increase pancreatic activity and cellular sugar use (Type 2).

Therefore, Diabetics eat a good balanced diet. This includes sugars and starches as well as proteins, fats and fiber. The secret is moderation, exercise and adjusting your insulin levels. If diabetics to not have enough glucose (sugar) in their blood they tend to become hypoglycemic. This is bad and results in all sorts of mental, physical. emotional and vision problems - and potentially death.

Answer 3

Yes, with serious limitations. Diabetics are already taking insulin to make up for lost sugar in their system, adding more sugar to your body will do far greater harm than anything. Know your limitations ... be aware of what foods you are eating.

Answer 4

Yes. Although a type one diabetic's pancreas has shutdown, sugar can be digested as long as they inject themselves with insulin
