“Can you eat sugar if you have type 2 diabetes?”

I don't recommend the sugars that come from junk foods like Pepsi, juices, ice cream, and candies, BUT natural sugar that comes from fruits or vegetables is okay in moderation.

Have you been seen by a nutritionist or a dietician for dietary management? They will do a detailed food history and food diary. Your doctor should help you, as she or he should. Please follow up.

It is quite rare to have Type 2 DM at that young age unless you are too overweight. All diabetics are recommended to avoid sugar.

Yes you can but be conservative & limit quantities. Remember that sugar & sugary foods are empty calories & will add wt. Since you are only 19 yr. old & have T2D, you are probably overwt. so adding sugars will only increase your wt. problem. Also simple sugars require little digestion time so will rocket your blood sugar faster than other more complex foods. So you may have to adjust your medication to keep control. You don't need to completely eliminate sugar (indeed it's probably impossible since most processed foods have it added) but remember Saint Paul's advice "Be temperate in all things" & remember that while sugar tastes good, it is not necessarily needed since carbohydrate can better be gotten in more complex form with slower digestion.

No, if you eat sugar will increase your blood sugar and make your diabetes more difficult to control. Avoid as much as possible sweets and sugar-containing drinks as well.
