I am not sure of the disorder, are you permitted fresh fruits? Fresh fruits depending on sugar count? Obviously an orange or a strawberry with have much high sugar count then a papaya or crabapple for example.
Thailand is not big on added sugar, or most of the time when sugar is added it is cane sugar or honey. The sweet things in Thailand usually are no where near how richly sweet the cakes, breads, cookies, and candies are in the USA. My wife spit the snicker's bar bite I gave her out, she said it was so sweet she nearly got sick. Yet I try her sweet snacks, they are dried mangos or tamarinds, even rice cakes. They have no sugar I can taste at all. It depends on where exactly you are coming from I think.
If in Belgium sweets are very rich, you will likely be just fine in Thailand. I know here many people have a difficult time estimating just how much sugar is in certain foods, but we are simply immune to it we have demanded such for so long. Does your doctor think that fresh fruits would be ok? I suggest talking to a doctor. Hopefully some people will reply here with some experience.
