Does Sugar Busters Help Diabetes?
Many doctors and dieticians dismiss Sugar Busters as a way of controlling diabetes, due to its reliance on the glycemic index, a rating system that demonstrates the effect that different foods have on blood sugar levels. The glycemic index is not universally accepted; critics argue that it does not reflect the way that most people actually eat and that the ratings can be deceiving, since each food is rated individually, not combined in a meal. They also note that the same food prepared different ways can produce a different rating. The Sugar Busters diet is not harmful for diabetics; indeed, cutting refined sugars and simple carbs from your diet is a good step in the right direction. However, don’t expect it to be a magic bullet.
