Frequently Asked Questions

Does sugar cause diabetes?

When sugar is consumed the hormone insulin is required to bring blood sugar levels back down to normal. Diabetes is caused through a lack of insulin, not an excess of sugar in the diet. Once someone has diabetes it is important to manage the frequency and amount of eating and the types of carbohydrate, including sugar, consumed to allow the body to maintain good blood sugar control.
