I totally want to remove sugar from my diet as I feel that the need for carbohydrates can be met with starch. Secondly, I am a diabetic and now have made up my mind to forget that even there is a word called sugar. For my general information I need to know the amount of calories a cup of sugar has. Had I not consumed sugar in large quantity earlier, i wouldn’t have been suffering with all these complications. But as it is never too late to mend, so just want to increase my awareness so that I can help other people deal with this malady properly.
