My doctor recently diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes. I know it is important to watch my sugar intake. Is sugarless candy really sugarless?

All foods, not just candy, can contain up to .5g of sugar, and the company producing the food does not have to indicate such information on a Nutrition Facts label. Although  this is a small amount, when eating sugar-free candy in large amounts, this sugar can add up quickly. Try dried fruits with no sugar added like raisins as a substitute to sugar-free candy.
