A normal person could eat three meals a day and a reasonable amount of dessert daily. We need to eat to live.
A friend of mine is diabetic. She does not take anything sweet, not even a thin slice of another person's birthday cake. It was her birthday last week. Another friend made a not so sweet jelly cake to celebrate the former's birthday. She took a small piece, and I mean it could hardly be any smaller.
An hour later she was giddy from a sugar spike. She lie down and rub ointment on her forehead. No one expected her to react so. Apparently, she had breakfast very early. By the time she ate the jelly, it went into an empty stomach. When she was totally out, it was actually lunch time. Yet she was too unwell to get up to eat anything.
Now I know why some individuals, with parents who are severely diabetic, avoid dessert and sweet things like plague.
