I've never heard of that. I've had Diabetes Type 1 for years, my glucose levels are great, as are my A1c numbers; and I eat tomatoes every day.
Tomatoes are part of my dinner salad each night. I also eat pasta with tomato sauce about once a week. Of course I have my usual shot of insulin before each meal, and I don't have a problem. Of course, I don't eat as much as the rest of my family, but I certainly don't go hungry.
So, if you or someone you love has Diabetes, don't worry about having those tomatoes.

There is no one-size-fits-all diet for diabetics. In general, the foods that spike blood sugar the most are carbohydrate. That means bread, grains, oatmeal, rice, potatoes, noodles, pasta, corn. You will often hear people talking about 'good' unrefined carbs versus 'bad' refined carbs but in reality, a carb is a carb. All carbohydrates turn to sugar in the blood, so wholegrain bread is the same as a sugar donut, it all becomes pure sugar. As diabetes is about uncontrolled high blood sugars, all diabetics need to be careful in their consumption of whatever spikes blood sugar the most, i.e., all carbohydrate. You should eat to your meter. Buy a blood glucose meter if you have not got one already. Log everything that you eat. Test 2 hours after eating. If you are under 140mg/7.8 mm/ol, then you are OK. If you are above this target, then you need to look at what you ate. Either reduce the portion, or cut it out entirely. Everyone's body is different. Only by testing will you find patterns that are right for YOU, and only by testing will you know how much carb you can eat. Note too that the amount of carb you can tolerate might be different depending on the time of the day (most people are more insulin resistant in the morning), the time of the month if you are female, stress, and exercise. In general, tomatoes contain some carb but less carb than say rice or potatoes or bread.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

This is not true.
Tomatos are low on the glycymic index and are good for diabetics.
Here is a listing of other foods that have little to no impact on blood sugar:
http://www.mendosa.com/freefoods.htm
On the other hand, tomato sauces can be not good depending on the amount of sugar added in manufacturing the sauces - like Tomatoe Ketchup. For example Heinz, in one 17 gram (1 tablespoon) serving there are 4 grams of sugar. How many people only have one tablespoon of ketchup? Potatoes are higher on the glycemic index, so french fries with tomato ketchup would not be a healthy choice.
Hope this helps
with kind and gentle regards,

Tomatoes are generally fine! As others have said, tomato sauce and other tomato products generally have sugar added so you have to watch them.
However, once a tomato is cooked it has a lot more 'accessible' carb, which raises the GI - meaning they work a little faster and are more likely to spike your blood sugar. This is true of a lot of foods - the process of cooking means half the work of digesting is done for you, and carbs are faster acting.
In any case, what suits one diabetic doesn't always suit the next, so use your meter and see what works for you.
