The last paragraph pissed me off. If it was that simple I'd get a gold star, but there's that thing called insulin. You know that thing a lot of us have to take 4 times a day. Guess his facts missed that one.
I read that as... Diabetics don't HAVE to buy all sugar free/diet labeled stuff, that they can eat normal healthy food that is good for everyone. I don't read it as... a healthy diet will take care of it all and relieve them of meds.

Honestly those "sugar-free" and "diet" versions often have more total carbohydrate than the regular version.
