We all know what coconut is, and of course, we\u2019re familiar with sugar. We\u2019ve also heard about artificial sweeteners<\/a> and natural sugars to some extent. But did you know there\u2019s something called coconut sugar?<\/p>\n

No, it\u2019s not about mixing coconut slices with table sugar and calling it coconut sugar! \ud83d\ude04 Coconut sugar is a natural sweetener made from the sap of the coconut tree, and it\u2019s often considered a healthier alternative to regular sugar. But the big question is, is it good for diabetes? Let\u2019s learn more about it.<\/p>\n

At Fitterfly<\/a>, our Nutrition Coaches recommend that people with well-controlled HbA1c<\/a> and blood sugar levels consume coconut sugar in small amounts. However, it\u2019s better to avoid it altogether.<\/p>\n

Instead, stevia powder, a calorie-free sweetener, is a healthier choice for adding sweetness to food while keeping blood sugar levels in check.<\/p>\n
