Hello, thanks for the query.
There are sugar -free as well as unsweetened chocolates. Dark chocolates are also available with very little or no sugar. Those can be given occasionally for a diabetic person. Thanks.

Your fasting is high & post meal is low which means that the body is trying to secrete more insulin to counter the sugar surge. Try to avoid free sugars or simple carbohydrate in diet. You can take Metformin after dinner to normalise your response.

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. Medication will depend upon your blood sugar value.

?Pears? store most of their fat close below the skin. ?Apples? store their weight around their middle, much of it deep within the belly surrounding their abdominal organs and liver. This type...more

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
Diabetes mellitus T2, is a disease which does run in the family. But it can be prevented by adapting a modifies healthy lifestyle. That is keeping fit, weight under control, BMI < 23 kgs/M2, taking healthy diet and doing regular exercise. It is better to avoid eating sweets, deep fried foods, sugary drinks and junk foods. Taking "sugar free" tablets as a substitute for sugar is also not very good. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
When product label says sugar free it means there is no Sucrose which is cane sugar, is not present in it.

However, one has to understand that majority of the food eaten by us (Indians, Asians) is containing about 60 to 70 % carbohydrates. All these are converted to glucose after digestion. So even if one does not take ex...more
