Help answer the question about sugar
What is the diffenence between regular sugar and sugar alcohol?My grandfather has diabetes and he try's to find stuff to eat with low sugar but if he finds something with like 1 gram of sugar it has 8 or 9 grams of sugar alcohol. Could someone please explain the difference and tell me if the sugar alcohol will make his blood sugar sky rocket the same way regular sugar does. Thanks.
P.S. if anybody knows some good snacks or recipies for people with diabetes that would be great
Also…he has Diabetes type 2.
Sugar alcohols are like sugar in some ways, but they are not completely absorbed by the body. Because of this, the blood sugar impact of sugar alcohols is less and they provide fewer calories per gram. They also don't promote tooth decay as sugars do, so often get used in chewing gum.
Because sugar alcohol is not completely absorbed, they can ferment in the intestines and cause bloating, gas, or diarrhea. People can have different reactions to different sugar alcohols.
By the way, an example of sugar alcohol is sorbitol
I don't think either of them are good for you. I only use raw sugar…..the least refining that has been done, the better off you are.
