Sugar is either naturally occurring (as in milk or fruit) or processed like sucrose (table sugar); it is metabolized as a carbohydrate, which raises blood glucose. A diabetic can eat sugar as long as her average blood sugar levels can be maintained within the normal range as established by a physician. The amount of sugar that is safe to eat will vary according to an individual's age, weight and activity level, among other factors.
