Sugar-Free Diet And Diabetes

Dr. Jorge Busse, Nephrologist with Baptist Health South Florida, says sugar is one form of carbohydrate, and just because a product is sugar-free, it doesn't mean it is not necessarily carbohydrate free. "We are what we do and what we eat. If I know I have a propensity for diabetes, I have to be on top of things and I have to be very informed, if you're not you're going to suffer the consequences," he explains.
