It’s National Diabetes Week and so we’re asking, can you eat jelly beans if you have diabetes? Yes! Yes, you can, but you need to be careful and only eat what you can. Whether you have diabetes or not, you should always take care when it comes to foods that are high in sugar. We recommend eating our gourmet jelly beans in moderation.
We know it’s tempting but you should never try to finish a whole jar by yourself. Jelly beans are for sharing with friends!
What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease where your pancreas struggles to produce enough insulin. Insulin is needed to break down sugar and is important when regulating blood sugar levels. If you don’t produce enough insulin you can get hypoglycemia or raised blood sugar that can lead to serious damage to the body.
There are a few different types of diabetes. The most common being Type 2 diabetes. Other types include Type 1 and Gestational diabetes. Impaired glucose tolerance and Impaired fasting glycaemia are health problems that can also lead to diabetes.
If you have diabetes your body may struggle to regulate your blood sugar, and you may have to keep a close eye on the sugar levels in your body. This can mean you may have to reduce the number of sugary foods you eat on a daily basis.
If you suffer from low blood sugar however you may need to eat some sugary foods throughout the day. Always consult with a doctor to find out what is right for you and your body. Remember all sugary foods and sweets should be eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
