A member asked:

How many grams of sugar per day befor insulin spikes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Insulin spikes: Too much sugar is no good for anybody but unless you have diabetes or have been told you have "pre-diabetes" don't fuss to much. If you are over-weight, or not very active then be sure to take less sugar.
