Diabetics can eat sugar but in moderation. Sugar a carbohydrate, is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. Individuals with diabetes mellitus have hyperglycemia (blood glucose level is elevated). If they consume too much sugar, this elevates the blood sugar even more. Hyperglycemia causes a multitude of problems. DM is an endocrine disorder that affects every single organ system adversely. Problems range from poor circulation to nerve problems and blindness.
The ADA (American Dietetic Association) recommends diet's low in concentrated sugars and sugar substitutes. Most people who use sugar substitutes say they can't tell the difference.
