If you will look up Glycemic Index foods all have a Glycemic Index number.and basically the higher the # is giving reference to how much insulin your body secretes into the blood stream.As mentioned in the other post, a can of soda is going to to have a greater response than a piece of fruit. 3 sugars are sucrose, fructose and glucose. Some diabetics often carry around glucose because it is lowest in the GI scale.Eating high sugary foods are often empty calories w/ no nutrition and can lead to becoming overweight. Obesity cabl definitely put you on the road to being diabetic.
