All yogurts have at least some natural sugar, in the form of lactose, but most brands contain additional sugars or artificial sweeteners. In fact, some brands have up to 50 grams of sugar per cup of yogurt, which can lead to fluctuations in your blood glucose level. If your pancreas is functioning normally, your blood glucose level will quickly spike after consuming large amounts of processed sugar, but then it might plummet too low in response to substantial insulin release. If you are diabetic, eating sugary foods will raise your blood sugar level for much longer periods of time because of insufficient insulin release. Consult with your doctor about the health effects of having either too much or too little glucose in your bloodstream.
