Medical experts have increased their knowledge of the causes of diabetes. In the past, diabetics were told to eat no sugar, as experts believed that sugar increased blood glucose and caused Diabetes. Recently, experts have come to believe that sugar has a similar effect on a diabetic’s blood glucose level as other carbohydrates, such as bread or potatoes. Diabetics can eat foods with sugar as long as they include them in a type 2 diabetic diet.
