Minimize sugar intake to very little. Carbohydrates are a food class that includes simple sugar and simple carbohydrates and moderate complex carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates. Granulated sugar is the simplest and will be absorbed quickly and elevate your plasma glucose quickly. Simple carbs such as white bread and juices and muffins etc are absorbed a bit more slowly than sugar but elevate your blood glucose quickly also. Limit these each day.
