Sure, a diabetic can eat non-veg. The point is not what you eat but how much you eat. It is white meat (chicken or fish etc) that a diabetic can eat in preference to red meat. White of egg is better than yellow as it contents less cholesterol. You should ask your physician to give you detailed dietary instructions in writing so that you ca study those and then start following.
