BioHaZarD said:Unfortunately your response of "yes a diabetic CAN eat sugar" is saying exactly that as his response was (Thank you!!!! wow ice cream, mince tarts, Christmas pudding , HERE I COME)
As mentioned the OP is newly diagnosed maybe confused type 2, and now thinks he can eat sugar and carbs. It may have been more helpful to explain the variations of diet rather than just yes. As I doubt mince pies ice cream etc is going to do him any good?
I have to agree with this. The OP saw the response as a green light to eat all the things that generally we can't. It's very easy to read what you want to read in a post, and when recently diagnosed it can be very daunting to have to accept the changes we have to make. That could lead to someone reading that a diabetic can have sugar as exactly what someone wants to read rather than the actual reality. Just sayin'.
