It depends on whether you have type 1 or 2 Diabetes. If you have type 1 then you will usually have a problem with your insulin levels. The insulin regulates your sugar and if you don't have enough of insulin, you willl probably have to eat sugar containing foods alot, because your sugar levels will tend to get low, however if you have too much insulin, you will probably need to eat less sugar containing foods. Most diabetics will have a little device to tell them when they're in need of sugar.

Why do diabetics need to eat a lump of sugar?
Well, diabetics do not literally eat a 'lump of sugar', but they do eat glucose tablets, which is basically all sugar (but in an edible form). If their blood sugar level is low, they eat the glucose tablet (as you refer to as the 'lump of sugar'), and the sugar (glucose is the same thing as sugar, just a different name) from the glucose tablet increases the blood sugar levels in that person's body, but it does not take immediate affect. The glucose tablets will then increase the blood sugar levels, thereby stabilizing the body's condition. (Having low blood sugar can lead to fainting, so they take it to keep from fainting.) Diabetics who need to use insulin can become hypoglycemic and require more sugar to balance excess insulin.
