Less food better: In fact diabetic should control their portions and loose weight to decrease need for Insulin secretion which is the main source of problem. Eat foods which have lower glycemic index that foods that release sugar slowly than immediate.

Not necessarily: Diabetics don't need to get lots of food. They need portion control and have to balance the risks of high/low blood sugar to food intake.
