We often think that people with Diabetes are forbidden from eating sweets, but that is a myth. If you have diabetes, you can still eat sweets once in a while without feeling guilty. The key is moderation.
Sweets count as carbohydrates. So, when you choose to eat a sweet, substitute small portions of sweets for other carbohydrates. For example, if you choose to have a cookie at dinner, eat less bread, pasta, potatoes, juice, milk or yogurt at that meal.
It is important to be aware of the total carbohydrates you consume at each meal and per day. Science tells us all sweets and starchy foods raise our blood sugar at the same level. So, if you ate honey or candy, that will raise your blood sugar level just like a starchy food would, such as potatoes or pasta. What’s important is the total amount of carbohydrates you consume at each meal and per day. To keep the total carbohydrate count the same when making substitutions, read the food labels and know how many carbohydrates your meal will include.
Don't overdo it, though. Sweets in general, like candy, cakes, and cookies, are not good sources of vitamins and minerals. In fact, they are high in fat and sugar content. That’s why we recommend consuming them in moderation and should be considered as a small part of your diet.

My mother was recently diagnosed with diabetes so I had the same questions myself. The best foods to eat are low-fat and high in fiber. You should avoid anything that is high in sodium and you must monitor foods that are high in carbohydrates closely. Here is a great link with examples of these types of foods: http://docgerrytan.com/2007/01/05/foods-to-eat-if-you-are-a-diabetic/. Hope this helps.
Diabetes affects almost ninety percent of the American population and that just isn't regular people. Recently while pregnant with child Halle Berry is currently on a diabetic diet as well as Nick Jonas.
Sucrose is simply table sugar, which can cause a diabetic's blood sugar levels to spike if they eat too much. It also depends on the diabetic's sensitivity. Some can tolerate more than others. Work closely with a doctor to help regulate the blood sugars, especially if you or someone you know has recently been diagnosed as diabetic.
I can understand in a way why you feel so depressed, but i to have been diagnosed very recently, but you should try find an easy way of dealing with it, and moving forward.
I am also a type 1 diabetic, i got diagnosed when i was fourteen, I'm now fifteen, but the doctor said, that i had it sense i was in the 5th or 6th grade, and now that he said the i remembered i use to have random shakiness (when your BG is low) in the 8th grade and i didn't know y. so I'm guessing 2-3 years you can have it, I'm now a sophomore in high school
