Hello Sir,
By sugar, I presume you mean diabetes.
Type-2 diabetes in about 50 percent of people is asymptomatic- that means they do not have any symptoms. It is found out incidentally by doing blood glucose test for some other reason. In about 50 percent, the patients have symptoms like loss of weight, increased hunger and thirst, increased urination, tiredness, skin problems etc.

Scientists have concluded that sugar stimulates the exact same centers of the brain, which derive pleasure out of heroin or cocaine. For those who are addicted to sugar, getting off it leads to intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms. If you have an uncontrollable urge to devour something sweet, you probably have sugar addiction too. Sugar is known to release dopamine and opioids, which not only makes it addictive, but makes it extremely difficult for you to overcome the withdrawal symptoms. more

Dear lybrateuser,
- Diabetes is the increase in blood sugar of the person
- it could be type 1 wherein there is lack of insulin production by the pancreas & type 2 ( more commonly found) wherein insulin is produced but there is a problem with its utilization by the body cells, in both cases the blood sugar increases.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
From the query I understand that you have PCOD and are on treatment. But what is the drug and dosage of it is not mentioned. Similarly there is no information on height, weight and TSH level.
As regards fasting blood glucose 91 mg/100 ml is absolutely fine. There is no reason to worry from that point of view. You can use either sugar or any substitute as you feel like. Thanks.

For diabetes follow a diet low in carbohydrate, low in fat and high in fibre. Walking for 30 mins a day for at least 5 days in a week is recommended. Follow a stress free life. Your sugars are high. I need to know whether it is your fasting or pp blood sugar. Medication will change accordingly.

Almost every person salivates over desserts and sweets. One does not need a special occasion to get one's sweet tooth going. While the lip-smacking sugary delight might impress the taste buds, it is sure to affect the health in a big way.
If you thought that sugar was only bad for your waistline and general health, then you need to know that it is equally harmful to your skin. In fact, it can lead to serious dermatological conditions.
