If a food label says a food is high in sugar does this mean I can’t have it?

You can still have higher sugar foods if you have diabetes, however we advise everyone to pick lower sugar options where possible. You can still have treats now and then, it’s just important to watch how much you are having and how often. You can use food labels to pick a lower sugar alternative. Remember it’s the “total carbohydrate” content that is most important, not just the sugar content.
