Low Fructose Diet in Diabetes Type 2

Overview

Diabetes is one of the most common and chronic diseases in the world, with the prevalence and incidence of this disease rising in most societies, especially in Iran. Suitable treatments for type 2 diabetes include changing lifestyle with exercise, nutrition, and drug use. New research suggests that added sugar, especially fructose, is the main trigger for diabetes and pre-diabetes even more potent than other carbohydrates. Fructose has a low glycemic index (23μg =) and slowly increases blood glucose levels. Therefore, it is thought that replacing fructose instead of glucose can have a positive effect on glycemic control of diabetic patients..
