Type 2 diabetes has become an issue because of one ingredient, an ingredient that is an issue in our community. Sugar. Sugar has become one of the most used ingredients and in the last 30 years the use of sugar in the foods in our local supermarket has risen.

The average adult consumes 50 kgs of sugar every year. This is 32 teaspoons a day, where the ideal recommendation is 8 teaspoons
