Introduction

Sugar is not completely bad. Taking a small amount of sugar is good because if a person stops taking sugar completely, such a person may suffer from low sugar, which is deadly as well.

Before I proceed, I am inviting @ruthjoe, @goodybest and @eliany to take partin this contest.

Do you know how much sugar you consume per day?

I don't really know the exact amount of sugar I consume per day since there is no specific measurement for that. Why do I say so?
I can tell how much cubes of sugar go into my system a day and how much granulated sugar intake is consumed daily.
But to know the exact amount of sugar that goes to my system daily may be something impossible because so much food found in locality is rich with natural sugar. Some of those foods are rice, yam, garri, sweet potatoes, and others. Eating any of these foods means taking in some quantity for sugar.
To know the amount of sugar I take per day based on how much carbohydrates I consume for the day.

👩⚕️ Do you have a family member who has problems with diabetes?

I had a paternal uncle who suffered from diabetes for so many years. He died last year and was buried, too, the same year. Before he died, he had always been treated and on regular check-ups to control his diabetics condition. He was restricted from eating certain food, especially those foods that are rich in carbohydrates.
The sickness affected him so badly that he became do lean and was also suffering from one sickness to another. He died last year of male prostrate.

👩⚕️ Have you had a problem with sugar?

At the moment, I don't have any problem with sugar, and I have done all possible things to make sure I don't have a problem with sugar in the future. To be sure I don't have a problem with sugar in the future, I control sugar intake and also try to balance my sugar level. I do not stop taking sugar completely because I do so, I may suffer from low sugar, which is also very dangerous.
A close family members of mine once suffered from low sugar because she was afraid of diabetes and because of that will not want to hear anything sugar and can stay for more than a year without take a cube of sugar or teaspoon of granulated sugar.

👩⚕️ What do you think about sugar as the worst enemy?

Sugar is the worst enemy. We need to take it with caution. It can send people to early grave because some sickness associated with sugar is not curable.
It is best to avoid sugar at some certain age rather than going ahead to consume it and then suffer the consequences. Sugar has become the worst or biggest enemy because of the deadly consequences. It is best to reduce it in our diet to better our health.
