After being diagnosed with diabetes, it doesn't mean you can't eat sweet foods forever. Of course you can still enjoy cake and other sweet foods if you follow the following healthy rules.
Sugar does not cause diabetes
Many people think that eating too much sugar can cause diabetes. Even though the reality is not that simple.
In type 1 diabetes, which usually appears from childhood, congenital and genetic factors are the most common causes, have nothing to do with sugar. In type 2 diabetes that attacks a lot in adulthood, having a fat body is one of the trigger factors. Indeed sugar does not directly cause diabetes. But consuming too much sugar can make you overweight and prone to diabetes. So, it's not wrong if one way to prevent diabetes is to limit sugar intake.
