Here's another way to control high blood sugar: Stop eating sugar. Amazingly, this One Simple TrickTM has ALSO been connected to losing weight.
No number of grams of sugar is recommended as part of anybody's daily diet. Check out "daily recommended intake of carbs" and you'll find that carbohydrates in any form are not required for good health. And nobody is suffering from high blood sugar because they consume a serving or two of fruit per day (and if I'm wrong, fruit isn't necessary either for health, either. I can't eat sugar without suffering arthritis pain flares, but I eat berries every day because they have anti-inflammatory properties. So I get natural sugar, I help control my arthritis pain, and I don't have to worry about high blood sugar. Imagine that.
Sugar is ubiquitous in American culture. It's stuffed into red sauces and dairy products (just TRY to find flavored yogurt that is sugar free.) It's sprinkled on to French Fries to make them more addictive. If sugar was classified as a drug, it would be by far the most popular addictive drug in the United States and probably the world, even more popular than Caffeine (which I can stop using any time I want to, I just don't want to, so shut up you aren't my mother!) It's harder to avoid than any other addictive chemical on the market. But it can be done, and for your body's sake it SHOULD be done. Sugar is poison, and I'll take a prescription to Stop Ingesting Poison over a prescription for a drug with all these nasty possible side effects any day of the week and twice on Sundays, thanks very much anyway.
Someone once observed that if they poured sugar, salt and grease into wet cement, they could get someone to eat it.
