Whether a person has Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, the body responds to sugar differently compared to individuals without the condition. This article explores the physiological processes that occur when a diabetic consumes sugar, including glucose spikes, insulin response, and long-term health implications. Additionally, we will examine how dietary choices, lifestyle modifications, and medical interventions can help mitigate the risks associated with sugar intake.
