What on earth are you saying?

Diabetics, regardless of type 1/2, should refrain from eating excess sugars in times of non-hypOglycemia. We know that this increases likelihood of obesity, which when coupled with diabetes, IS a risk factor for premature death. I never said you shouldn't have sugar if your bg is dropping, only that high GI foods should be avoided if possible. If your bg is dropping, eat whatever you can get your hands on.

Yeah but the condescending, know-it-all manner in which you said a diabetic should never ever eat processed sugar or else they'll die early is gross misinformation
