    Author: Ostashevskaia MI, Afanas'eva NB, Valuĭskova RP, Dluzhevskaia TS, Maniakina EA.
    Journal: Vopr Pitan; 1987; (2):23-6. PubMed ID: 3590678.
    Abstract:
    The influence of readily available carbohydrates (sugar, xylitol and sorbitol) on the metabolic processes was studied in 80 children with diabetes mellitus. It was found that even low doses (20 g) of sorbitol and xylitol produced an unfavourable effect on the lipid metabolism and liver function. It is recommended that low doses (20 g) of sugar be included into the diet for children with diabetes mellitus.
