Summary
Sugar can help for diet Many studies suggest that consumption of added sugar especially in carbonated beverages and processed food leads to weight gain and obesity. However, sugar in moderate amount may have benefits when consumed as part of a balanced diet. For example, sugar provides energy and may enhance mood. Some research also suggests that sugar may have a role in diet palatability and diet compliance. Consumption of added sugar beyond moderation can lead to health issues like weight gain, obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic liver disease and some cancers. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting added sugar intake to less than 10% of total calories. The American Heart Association recommends an even lower target of 6 teaspoons or 100 calories per day for most women and 9 teaspoons or 150 calories per day for most men. In summary, while some sugar in the diet may have benefits for palatability and mood, excess added sugar consumption is associated with health risks. For good health, the Dietary Guidelines and the AHA recommend limiting added sugar as part of a balanced diet with appropriate portion control and regular exercise. Moderation and balance are key principles for health and wellness.
Dietary compliance in diabetes mellitus patients plays an essential role in stabilizing blood glucose levels. The results show diet management in type 2 DM can reduce blood glucose levels.

The patient had uncontrolled DM type 2 with HbA1c above 14% and was treating with Metformin only. The patient started using Dexcom G6 CGM which shared data with the clinic. The patient education about diet and insulin adjustment. The patient had call and visit to the clinic regularly. After controling the high blood sugar, the insulin dosages decreased. DM type 2 was well controlled with GMI less than 7%. The morning fasting C- peptide of the patient increased due to morbid obesity. The patient started per oral antidiabetic medications and injectable GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RAG). The patient’s DM type 2 control maintained 3-6 months after stopping the insulin with Glucose management index (GMI) less than 7%. Using CGM instead of SMBG in the Internal Medicine Residency Clinic helped patients with DM type 2 to improve blood sugar control with Insulin and stop Insulin and start oral antidiabetic agents and injectable GLP-1 -RAG.This can be done safely in Internal Medicine Residency clinic.

UPF classification wrongly defines food processes and presence of food additives; little evidence supports effects beyond energy density. Observational studies link UPFs to obesity but show no independent associations controlling for confounders.
