No. Any kind of refined flour is generally not a good idea for diabetics. Refining out all the vitamins, fiber and fats just leaves the flour extremely starchy which causes a rise in blood sugar and then a heavy crash.

Cake flour is superfine and thus, superbad. If you can find whole-grain cake flour (ingredients: 100% whole ___") then it's a little better, but the blood sugar reaction will still be bad.
