Sugar has become perhaps
the most discussed dietary issue in recent years with more and more research
studies linking the effects of sugar to greater risks of obesity and type 2
diabetes.
Statistics show that
most of us are consuming more sugar than is good for our health.
Many of us are unaware
that starchy foods like bread, rice or potatoes are broken down by digestion
into surprisingly large amounts of sugar; a small slice of wholemeal bread is
equivalent to three spoonful’s of sugar. It’s important therefore that your
diet does not contain too much carbohydrate either.
A major cause of this
has come from the high amounts of sugars added to a wide range of processed
foods.
Sugar has extra
relevance to people with diabetes as sugar has a formidable effect in raising
blood sugar levels.
Sources of sugar:
Sugar in the diet can be
found in 3 forms. Sugar can be:
Natural - as found in fruit and honey
Added - as found in
biscuits or cereals
The product of the
digestion of more complex carbohydrates (e.g. bread)
There are natural sugars
found in fruit, milk based products and vegetables.
Added sugars, also
called free sugars, refer to the sugars that are added to a whole range of
processed foods and drinks, including microwave meals, pasta sauces, breakfast
cereals, sweetened drinks and desserts.
Sugar and type 2
diabetes:
Sugar is a form of
carbohydrate that will quickly affect your blood sugar levels if you have
diabetes. All carbohydrate raises blood glucose levels and sugar has a very
quick effect.
It is therefore
important not to have too much sugar in your daily diet.
'Sugar diabetes':
Type 2 diabetes was once
referred to as sugar diabetes - because sugar is at the heart of the problem.
For somebody with
diabetes, it is the total sugar burden from any of the three sources (natural,
added or as a product of the digestion of complex carbohydrate) which need
taking into account to keep blood glucose levels low.
Don't worry, reducing
sugar intake reduces the likelihood of needing medication and diabetes-related
complications.
Research has shown a
close association between sugar intake and development of type 2 diabetes. The
more sugar in the diet, the higher the risk of type 2 diabetes.
This doesn’t mean that
your type 2 diabetes has necessarily been caused by eating too much sugar
although sugar intake is one of the most important factors.
