If you have ever been to this state of India you would know what important place sweets occupy in the social life. Sweet shops are a huge business. You will have sweets on birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, for success in exams, for landing jobs. To make it short, any occasion is good for sweets. Yesterday was a day of sweets for me. Our society bought a new school bus , we got sweets. A newlywed couple visited us , they gave us a heavy packet of sweets. I bought sweets to distribute to some families on successful casting of concrete roof on my house. No wonder, diabetes is a common ailment in these parts. Those who suffer from it have to live with it and sometimes die of it .

I am diabetic but I always used to eat sweets to control and after being diabetic I don't eat sweet much except on a few occasions. Yes in India we all distribute sweets to others if anything good happens with us.

We were surprised when we went to Luxor, Egypt, that everyone had 4 or 5 teaspoons of sugar in their tea. I should imagine sugar diabetes is bad there too.

I do eat sweets but I consume them to a minimum. And I drink a lot of water.

I love sweets and limit them to once a week. I had some M&M cookies tonight. I only ate two of them.

We have some nice bakeries and pastry shops, but sweets like candies and alike, not so much.

Some doctors say that sugar does not create diabetes. They say it's a myth.

Rightly said. Sweets are a significant part of all our celebrations no matter small or big ones in India. One can eat in proportion and workout so as to stay away from diabetes. Have a good day. Take care
