Diabetes is more than just Blood Sugar

Blood Sugar is not the whole picture. Many people are under the misconception that eating too much sugar causes diabetes. This misconception exists because diabetes is diagnosed by measuring blood sugar (glucose). But dietary sugar is only part of the picture. According to two recent Harvard studies, a diet rich in certain high-carbohydrate foods -those low in fiber and with a high glycemic index -increases the risk of Type 2 diabetes in those predisposed to it.
