Beware of sweet pleasures! There world diabetes day organized this Thursday underlines the consequences: nearly 4 million people are affected by this disease in , including both types of diabetes. A poor diet that is too sugary is particularly the cause of the disease for type 2 diabetics.

Very high exposure to the dangers of sugar

A shopping center customer, Florence admits to purchasing a packet of small 300-gram biscuits rich in sugar: 73 grams of carbohydrates, of which 23 grams of sugar are high! The figure comes to just half of the 50 grams of sugar recommended daily by the World Health Organization (WHO).

All generations are unfortunately exposed to the risk of a diet that is too sugary. Daily life also encourages excesses according to health professionals.

The fight against sugar and disease remains essential: more than 500,000 people live without knowing it with diabetes in France, types 1 and 2 combined.

If type 2 diabetes begins late, diet often has nothing to do with the onset of the disease in childhood for type 1 diabetics.
