The Truth About Sweets and Diabetes

1. Sweets like candy and cake are off limits to people with diabetes.

The correct answer is: FALSE
Sweet indulgences -- candies, pies, cakes -- were once off-limits for people with diabetes. Not any more.

In fact, research has shown that starches like potatoes and white bread affect blood glucose levels much like sugar -- causing sometimes-dangerous spikes in blood sugar. Carbohydrates found in most vegetables or whole grains don't affect blood sugar as much.
