fructose and diabetes

Fructose and diabetes are related in the context of how the consumption of fructose, a natural sugar found in fruit and added to many processed foods and beverages, can influence the development and management of diabetes. High-fructose diets can contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes by causing insulin resistance, a condition where cells become less responsive to insulin's effects, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels. People with diabetes need to be cautious about consuming excessive amounts of fructose as it can negatively impact their blood sugar control and overall health.
