Comparing the two types of sugars (I hear that the Granulated sugars are “bad” vs. more natural sugars.)
Comparing the two types of sugars (I hear that the Granulated sugars are “bad” vs. more natural sugars.)
Is the “natural sugar” in green grapes O.K. to eat for myself trying to watch my blood glucose levels?
%My mother was a type-1 Diabetic all her life, until her passing 6 years ago.
I am now age 45 years, and I try (granted to the extremes) to avoid any possibility to begin hyperglycemia.
I have succeeded, thus far.

I don’t partake in much sugar-free stuff, but when I do it’s stuff like Red Diamond Sugar-Free Tea and sugar-free candy (in moderation — the stuff makes me go to the bathroom if I eat too much). I also really l ike to eat fruit (high in natural sugars, but not the refined garbage). I have lost 80 pounds and would like to lose 40 more. I’m on Weight Watchers, but I spend what I feel to be too many points on sugary items such as Cracker Jacks, sweetened cereal, dark chocolate, etc. There is no diabetes on either side of my family, but I tend to get insomnia if I eat high-sugar items in the afternoons or evenings. About 1-1/2 years ago, I eliminated ALL carbonated beverages cold-turkey. It was hard at first, but now I don’t miss them.
