You are diabetic, blood glucose = blood sugar, right??
This must be a case of can't see the forest for the trees. LOL
Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, honest I don't. The suffix "ose" means sugar, so whenever you read a label and you see an OSE word, BINGO!
For anybody else who might have forgotten, here's a list of common sugars found in foods - sucrose (table sugar), dextrose, glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose....
- cane sugar products include - white & brown sugar, turbinado, succanat, demerrara, molasses, cane syrup, white syrup
- fructose is a very concentrated sugar found in fruits, also is the primary sweet source in honey, and concentrated fruit juices (beware jams claiming no sugar added, but made with concentrated grape or apple juice!!! full of carbs & fructose)
- maple syrup & sugar, corn syrup (mostly dextrose), rice syrup and malt syrup (barley)
***ABOUT
Sucralose or Splenda - yes it ends in OSE, (actually it's LOSE), because it is made from real sugar but has no calories or carbs.
Hope this has been helpful,
