My late husband use to use lots of sugar in his coffee.  In fact, he use to 
put coffee in his sugar.  When I first took him to be examined for his 
mental deterioration it was established he was pre diabetic.  He was 
prescribed an oral  drug to lower his blood sugar.  When he became so ill he 
could no longer determine what it was he wanted to eat, nor was able to get 
food for himself safely, I fed him no sugar at all.  Or the little which was 
found in canned things I might occasionally feed him, and the sugar found in 
milk and fruits.  When next he was tested for blood sugar, it was determined 
he required no drugs to maintain a normal blood sugar level.  So, my 
suggestion would be not to eat sugar at all, save what is found in fruits 
and vegetables.
