    As someone who is T2Dm (normal blood sugars through diet and exercise only) I can start by telling you that sugars are not the issue. If you want to keep your glucose low, you need to watch total carbs (which includes simple, complex and fiber). Sugar is just one subset of carbs.

    What you eat does not give you diabetes. You can give yourself the best opportunity to keep it away by getting to and maintaining a normal weight and staying active.
