Are you allowed to eat regular sugar sweetened products (eg high fructose cs) if you have Type I diabetes? I have Type 1 diabetes and I am allowed to eat regular sugar sweetened products to a certain limit. My doctor has me keep track of the carbs I eat instead of the sugars. This works out well for me. within reason, yes. You must keep track of the carbs and adjust your insulin to that. Yes to a limit I have an insulin pump and as long as you know how many carbohydrates are in the product it should be fine. Talk to you dietician or doctor. As a type I for 23 years, I pretty much went without substantial sucrose/fructose (except non-juiced fresh fruit) in my diet for so long that I don't miss it. I continue to do so, as I think it has been a big factor in my health. Refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup in more than moderate amounts can even be quite unhealthy for non-diabetics. I wouldn't. Why would you? Read this for more info: For type I and type II diabetics (and those who are overweight and could potentially become diabetic). Copy and bookmark the webpages I鈥榲e listed below鈥?they are invaluable for those with diabetes and/or weight problems... I've found a wonderful book that will help you control your diabetes and minimize or even eliminate the complications. Some folks who became diabetic due to poor diet and obesity are effectively cured by following the advice in this book. I'm a type II (inherited), but it helps all types, especially those who became diabetic due to poor eating habits. It's by an author who has really done his homework, Patrick Quillin, Phd. It's called, "The Diabetes Improvement Program". I have tried his suggestions and found them to be very helpful. I have no complications whatsoever and my blood sugar levels are quite stable. Yes, I still have to take Metformin (Glucophage) daily, but it's the minimum dosage (500mg) and I only have to take it twice a day. I have been off Metformin for as much as a week, but this was with vigorous exercise. Many, what I call, non-hereditary type IIs (those that don't have a close relative who had it) have gotten off medication completely, just with diet, exercise, and supplements. So, in some instances, it most certainly can be 'effectively' cured. Read more about it here: http://www.diabetesimprovement.com/... The book explains what's going on in our system and what to do about it. It's really easy and inexpensive. It's basically diet, supplements and exercise. For example, did you know that cinnamon helps blood sugar absorption? It also controls cholesterol and triglycerides. This is according to the USDA: http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/np/fnrb/fnrb0... For men: Are you suffering from erectile dysfunction? I was. Yes, WAS. Now that everything's under control, I'm able to have nearly normal sex again. I've also put together a little webpage highlighting some of the things I've learned here: http://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/type... A great health site with all kinds of general health information: http://www.chetday.com Great calorie explanation: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/changing...
