Type of diabetes
Treatment type
Diet only
If you are a type 2 controlling diabetes by diet then no sugar is a good idea, also a low carb diet, so as to lower blood glucose and take the strain off your metabolism unable to cope with the amount of carbohydrate in your diet, which presumably is causing elevated levels of blood glucose. It will also reduce the amount of fat in your body, so you lose weight if you lower the carbs to a suitably low level.
