Sunshine sugar, based in NSW, has been making low GI sugar for the past three years.

So what is the GI of this low GI sugar? I do not see it in the link.

Given that the GI normal refined processed white sugar is only 65, a lot less than a lot of health foods - plus there are a lot of other natural sugars that are low GI such as Fructose at 19.

The real issue is not so much the GI of sugar but how much we use - soft drink - heaps and cakes etc heaps also.

If the new sugar can deliver the required taste - then it is great but acquiring a taste that does not require excessive sweetness is a better solution.

I do use sugar in moderation, and cannot stand artifical sweetners - the do not sweeten but make things bitter - the major issue is when sugar is cooked further and turned into glucose that is the problem - make glucose low GI and you would be on a winner.

You won't buy it from Coles , our local Coles keeps deleting anything off the shelves that my wife's dietician tells her to get that is low in sugar. The dietician actually goes to shop & finds things for her but once I have bought there stock it is never restocked .[bigsad] Usually gets replaced by home brand product that is higher in sugar & made OS.

I have been using CSR Low GI sugar for a couple of years now. It is generally available at the big 2 supermarkets.

That is just raw brown sugar.

I note that most of these low GI sugars do not actually say what their GI is - can someone tell me?

I looked at the nutrition label of the CSR Low GI Sugar and compared it to normal white sugar - basically no difference

CSR Low GI Sugar per 100g - 1690 kj
carbohydrate/sugars 99.4g

Normal white sugar per 100g - 1700 kj
carbohydrate/sugars 100g

So no real difference

So can someone list the GI of these low GI products - I cannot find them.

How the gi scale works. The low gi sugar is under 55,

I started using low gi sugar about 10 years ago. It was a raw sugar with a coating to make slower to absorb in the stomach. When I did a bit of research, I realised that when it was use in hot beverages, the whole lot was dissolved in the beverage - basically reverting to a normal sugar. I stopped using it. I don't know if this works the same way, but I suspect that it does.

I buy the Coles brand sweeteners 300 tablets (phenylalanine) , no bitter aftertaste that I can tell (in my coffee, tea and home made lemonade), the coles commercial no sugar lemonade which uses the same sweetener actually leaves a very mild yicky aftertaste (maybe one of the other chemicals, not sure)

the best thing for blood sugar control in my opinion is regular fasting with beef or chicken flavoured broth. unfortunately that seriously clashes with my desire for pizza [bigsad]

I have been referred to a dietician, having crept up over the magic number 7 in the blood test. Currently use Metformin for control. I'll have some questions for the dietician .

i feel your pain ...

do not believe anything you hear about diabetes 2 treatments or cures , unless it's from your family doctor whom you can explicitly trust.

my wife is a senior nurse educator for the Primary Healthcare Network , who deal in chronic illness...

between her and our family doctor I can tell you , if there was any breakthrough in treatments , diets or curealls for diabetes type 2 , I would know about it before any of you guys here.

if it's on facebook, tictoc, tagged , the morning show , fox news , sky news , 60 minutes etc etc forget it ....it's not true.
