The basic chemical (atomic) formula is the same for all sugars excepting for some small arrangement of atoms.
There are Monosaccharides and Disaccharides but it's all essentially the same.
A pot of Sainsbury's Low Fat 300g Cottage Cheese contains 11.7g of sugar. That's the equivalent of 3 teaspoonfuls.
However it does have 1.8g of fibre in there so that's something.
By comparison, one of Nature's medium sized apples contains:
Calories : 95
Sugars : 19g
Fibre : 4g to 5g
Plus lots of good vitamins
The sugars break down as:
Monosaccharides: 15.15 g
Fructose: 10.72 g
Glucose: 4.42 g
Galactose: 0.00 g
Disaccharides: 3.76 g
Lactose: 0.00 g
Maltose: 0.00 g
Sucrose: 3.76 g
What matters is that fibre content. That's what changes the way your body processes the sugars.

Do you have any sugar in your drinks like tea/coffee?
Are you eating milk chocolate or plain?
If milk, then try to move over to a good plain chocolate around 70% cocoa.
Make yourself some bags of mixed nuts and dried fruit.
The nuts (esp almonds, walnuts and pecans) will give you the fibre you need whilst the fruits will give you the sweetness and sugar you crave.
Don't use any bags of white refined sugar. Throw them out.
