Diabetics don't need to stay away from sugar. It is carbohydrates that
raise our BG. And yes, sugar is a carb, but no worse for us in terms of BG
(blood glucose) than white bread. As for cholesterol, fat is not
necessarily bad. There are good fats, like olive oil. And there again,
excess carbs will raise cholesterol, particularly trigylcerides.
