The sugar cure even diabetics can use

Q: In the October 2007 issue of Nutrition & Healing there is an article about bladder infections and using D-mannose to eliminate the problem. But the article says that D-mannose is a sugar. My wife has type 2 diabetes and is afraid it will affect her blood sugar. Can you clarify this for me?

Dr. Wright: Despite being classified as a “simple sugar,” D-mannose is very safe. Very little of it is actually metabolized by the body. Large doses are washed away in the urine (along with the E. coli bacteria that cause most bladder infections), and the amounts not excreted into the urine are so small that they do not affect blood sugar levels -- even in diabetics.
