Question by Alice Lee: Can a person with diabetes eat natural sugar from fruits?
My daddy is a borderline diabetic, which means he doesn’t exactly quite have diabetes but is in the risk of getting it. We’ve already tried to make him eat less sugar to keep from getting it, but he always wants what he can’t have. Is it okay if he eats natural sugar in fruits?

But both my grandmother and great grandmother had Sugar NOT diabetes. And I am high risk for it but not diabetes, according to 3 seperate doctors I have seen!
