伝統的に diabetics have been told to 避ける sugar and chocolate.

This is because sugar can raise your 血 sugar levels. Diabetics have trouble controlling their 血 sugar levels as they do not produce insulin which 変えるs sugar into energy.

But advice for diabetics is now changing.

糖尿病 UK, the 主要な charity for 糖尿病, says it is 安全な to eat chocolate in small 量s. Even eating an 復活祭 egg will not 原因（となる） any long 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語損失 to your 血 sugar levels.

以前, diabetics may have been eating special diabetic food. This was made with 人工的な sweetners to help 支配（する）／統制する diabetic's 血 sugar levels.

But 研究 by 糖尿病 UK has shown that many diabetic foods 含む／封じ込める more fat and energy than 従来の chocolate. This high fat content is more likely to make the long-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 symptoms of 糖尿病 worse than help the 条件.

The charity now says that the 概念 of a special 'diabetic diet' has been 取って代わるd with 指導基準s on healthy eating and 特に tailored eating 計画（する）s for each person with 糖尿病.

Like the 残り／休憩（する） of the 全住民, people with 糖尿病 are encouraged to eat a diet low

in fat, sugar and salt with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Sally Wright, a spokeswoman for 糖尿病 UK, says, 'There is no 選び出す／独身 food which must be 除外するd from the diets of people with 糖尿病. Total avoidance of sugar is now considered unnecessary.'

糖尿病 UK is now 活発に（選挙などの）運動をするing to 除去する特に labelled 'diabetic' food from the 棚上げにするs.

Sally says, 'Labelling a 製品 'diabetic' gives it a stamp of 是認 which many people with 糖尿病 find hard to ignore. They assume the contents may be 有益な or even 必須の. 促進するing a 範囲 of confectionary foods as 'diabetic' 完全に土台を崩すs dietary education in 糖尿病 care.'

The charity says that although it is important to eat a low sugar, low fat diet for most of the year, having a little extra chocolate over 復活祭 will not 影響する／感情全体にわたる血 glucose 支配（する）／統制する.

'An ordinary 復活祭 egg is 罰金, but spread it out over the whole 復活祭 period rather than eating it all on 復活祭 Sunday,' says Sally. 'Special diabetic 復活祭 eggs do not 申し込む／申し出 any special 利益, and are expensive and unnecessary.'
