A free food is one with less than 20 calories and 5 grams carbohydrate per serving. Examples include diet soft drinks, sugar-free gelatin dessert, sugar-free ice pops, sugarless gum, and sugar-free syrup.
Sugar-free does not mean carbohydrate-free. Compare the total carbohydrate content of a sugar-free food with that of the standard product. If there is a big difference in carbohydrate content between the two foods, you may want to buy the sugar-free food. If there is little difference in the total grams of carbohydrate between the two foods, choose the one you want based on price and taste. Make sure to read the label carefully to make the best choice. Read more

The disease is chronic and affects the metabolism of carbohydrate, protein, fat, water and electrolytes. A fair percentage of the cases may be due to over production of other hormones which are antagonistic to Insulin - e.g. glucagon, hormones of the pituitary, adrenaline and thyroid or due to increased production of substances which inactivate insulin e.g. - insulinase and insulin antagonists present in plasma. Diabetes is often found to be associated with other conditions such as blood pressure, obesity, hypercholesterolaemia, cardiovascular disease, kidney disorder and the nervous system. Read more
