Q: I s sugarfree gum okay for a brittle diabetic with no pancrease/
Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 1
)
Can a brittle diabetic with no pancreas chew sugar-free gum?
Even if a gum or other sugar-free product does not contain traditional sugars, most DO contain sugar alcohols, such as maltoses, which can have the same effect as a product containing sugar. This is because they are alcohol-based.
Your body processes alcohols in a similar way to sugars and, in fact, alcohol is considered a carbohydrate by Nutritionists.
I would recommend talking with your Diabetic Doctor, a Diabetic Educator or a Nutritionist, about alternatives to sugar-alcohols.
