Well, I live with a diabetic, (and my ex-wife was also diabetic,
diagnosed while we were together), and I'm here to say you can eat
*anything* in moderation, provided you're doing everything else right --
eating well in general, testing your blood sugar regularly, paying
attention to your body, moving a lot (I think I remember you have some
mobility issues right now, but whatever exercise you can do), and taking
whatever meds you should be taking. No one food is off-limits
automatically. It's about what it does to you and about sane
quantities, at least in our experience.
