Can people with diabetes eat mutton?

Patients with diabetes may consume mutton, but only in moderation—excessive intake must be avoided. Regarding dietary considerations, patients with diabetes should first avoid all sugary foods; chocolate and other sweets are strictly prohibited. They should also limit intake of fatty meats and follow a low-fat diet. Additionally, foods high in starch should be consumed sparingly, while whole grains and coarse cereals should form the staple of their diet.
