Join the National Sugar Challenge: Cut Added Sugars for a Week with the Diabetes Fund

On average, we consume 1.5 to 2 times more sugar daily than health experts recommend. Backed by the Diabetes Fund, the National Sugar Challenge invites you to eliminate added sugars from your diet for one full week—starting today.

Sign up at Suiker-challenge.nl and get our free magazine, loaded with practical tips and 21 tasty recipes free of added sugars. Over 30,000 people have already joined this impactful initiative.

Hanneke Dessing, General Director of the Diabetes Fund, shares: "Awareness of foods and drinks without added sugars for even a week benefits everyone. Currently, half of Dutch adults are overweight, elevating their risk of type 2 diabetes—a condition affecting over 1 million people, with 1,000 new cases weekly. Together, by reducing added sugars, we can halt this alarming trend."
