There are really no unsafe foods for diabetics, only unsafe levels of consumption. Diabetics must be conscious of what they eat and how much, especially of carbohydrate levels in the foods. If they are insulin dependent, they can compensate for the carbs. If they do not take insulin, they have to be more conscious and adjust how much they eat of what they eat. Food is not the enemy, the disease is not the enemy. There is no enemy. Only increased awareness.
